BlueMarbleScience | The Gas Weight Conundrum @bluemarblescience | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
If gas molecules are bouncing equally off all the internal surfaces of a container, why do full gas cylinders weigh more than empty ones?
Consider this. If I have two enclosed trucks each with an equal number of birds but the birds are sitting on the floor in one truck and flying around in the other truck - which truck is heavier?
