Do gases have a fixed volume?

Because a gas is conceived to occupy WHATEVER volume is available to it....
Explanation:
Unlike solids, and liquids, the which have characteristic and more or less constant densities, i.e.
ρ
density
=
mass
volume
, a gas will fill WHATEVER volume is available to it, and in fact
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
EXPLICITLY states that the total pressure of a gaseous mixture,
P
Total
≡
P
1
+
P
2
+
...
P
n
, and that the individual partial pressures, as they are called, are proportional to the mole fraction of each gas in solution....
And thus gases can have various pressures, and densities, the which are state functions of temperature...

Gas particles spread out to fill a container evenly, unlike solids and liquids. Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.
