The Spontaneous Processes
topic provides an interactive example of one of the defining characteristics
of a gas: "Gases expand to fill their container." In the
screen shot below, the 'trails' option has been turned on during
the simulation. The simulation involves the removal of a partition
which initially confines the gas to a smaller volume within the
simulation cell.
