Even after a glass is filled to the brim with water you can add a considerable amount of salt without making the water run over how is this possible?

since water is a liquid, there is still space in between the water molecules. So if you pour salt slowly into the a glass full of water, the salt molecules will occupy the empty spaces between the water molecules, until it reaches a point called sturation point when there isn't any space left and then the glass will overflow. But this will only work if you stir the water to help the mixing of the two substances. Interesting addendum: the water will actually shrink for the first few grains of salt as the electrostatic nature of the ionic salt will pull the water molecules closer together.

Can you find the volume of a solid without a shape?
if i assume that by "without a shape" you mean having an irregular or difficult shape to use math equations to calculate then you could use water displacement for example, in a measured container filled with a specific pre-measured amount of water, noting the volume, add the solid and now you can subtract the old volume from the first to get the solid's volume
Will a basketball blow up if you put helium in it?
That all depends how much helium you put in it. A basketball should be able to take the same amount of pressure, whether it's pressure from air or helium. So, if you inflate it only to the recommended pressure, it should be a problem. The same amount of pressure of helium will be less mass, so in the end the basketball will be lighter, as you would probably expect, by a very small amount.

Does a Coelacanth have a Buoyancy System?
Yes it does have a buoyancy system. The coelacanth (Latimeria spp.) is completely oil-filled (it has no air sinuses at all) and the swim bladder is filled with a fatty lipid. The oil is slightly positively buoyant and this counteracts the weight of the fish. These two factors enable the fish to rise and descend through a considerable depth range without suffering any adverse effects.

Would a scuba divers tank filled with compressed air last longer than normal pressure air?
It definitely would. Also, a tank filled with non-compressed air would be nearly impossible to use because air wouldn't flow out of it without an enormous amount of effort. For these reasons, all tanks used by divers are filled with compressed air.
