Ya im sure there is some way to pour a gas. I dont have a clue how. So mabybe some one will teach us how, who knows.

If the gas is really dense it can probably be poured. It has to have a color so you can see it. If it is a heavier gas, it'll probably work better.

There should be a possible way to do it. I dont know how to but there is a way. I wouldnt want to do because it sounds difficult.

I dont believe that gas can be poured. It's colorless so you couldn't really see if it could possibly be poured. Im sure they could possibly be a way it could be though.

Yes you can. If it is a heavier gas, it will work. I can be done!

yes you can pour gas. like when we took a peice of paper and folded it and had it at a decline then took gas and poured it down the paper and lit it on fire it lit at the bottom and went up. So that means that gas can be poured.

The density of a gas can be used to identify it. Gas is denser than air and can be poured from container to another. On page 438 in our chemistry book it has a great picture of gas being poured into another container.

junger said...

Yes it can. It depends on the density and how thick it is.

bertsch said...

I guess you could. Who would take time to pour a gas though.

amanda said...

Yes you can pour a gas. Some gases are more dense then air so they sink. They are just so dense.

karlen said...

Yes you can pour gas. It has to have some type of color in order for you to see it. If you have a heavier gas that will work a-lot better

Well if the gas is lighter than air then it will pour up. if the gas is heavier than the air the gas like co2 will fall to the ground for example if you light a candle you can put it out with co2 emited from a micture of viniger and baking soda.

aaron peterson said...

Yes if it heavier than the atompsheric air you can pour it. That is why certain heavy gases can appear on the floor of a building. So you yes you can pour a gas.

Yes you can. You can pour a gas. You can pour it if it is heavier than the gas that soround it.
