ReneGas has a variable volume because the particles in a gas are not held together very tightly and are constantly moving and colliding with each other and the walls of their container. This constant motion allows gases to expand to fill their container or be compressed to a smaller volume depending on the conditions.

What is the dependent variable that shows how the volume of gas changes with changes in temperature?
The volume of gas
Does steam have definite volume?
No. Steam is a gas, thus volume is a variable. (It is often referred to as a vapor since it is usually near its liquid condition.)
What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure doubles?
The volume is halved (Explanation): this is boyle's law PV=PV. In order to keep this equation true, if one variable (pressure in this case) is doubled, the other variable must be the reciprocal of that (in this case 1/2, which is reciprocal of double).
Pressure is used to increase the volume of gas?
An increase of the temperature or a decrease of the pressure.
The variable that Boyles law holds constant is?
The variable that Boyle's law holds constant is the temperature. Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume, as long as the temperature remains constant.
