      Thank you for your question!

      The density of a gas can vary since gases are compressible.

      Indeed, we can "crush" a gas so that it fits into a smaller space. Consequently, there could be a greater quantity of gas, and therefore, a greater mass of gas in a certain space.

      Feel free to ask us more questions if you have any!
