Liquid: yes, more or less. Liquids are practically incompressible (with the pressures we usually have on Earth).

Gases: no. Gases can easily be compressed.

If a liquid is poured from a tall bottle into a shallow pan does its shape or volume changes?

The shape can change, the volume will stay the same.


What stay the same when a liquid changes to a gas?

Butt


If you cut a cube in half will the combined volume of the 2 halves be more less or the same?

The volume will stay the same, because you are not taking any volume away, nor adding any. Therefore the volume will stay the same.


Why do liquids change their shape but keep volume?

Because the molecules within a liquid are arranged in such a way that they can freely move around. This means that unlike a solid, a liquid can continuously change shape. A liquid has a fixed size because its volume remains constant; no matter what shape it is in, assuming that no more liquid has been added or taken away, there are always the same number of molecules.


Do mercury car alarms always stay liquid in England?

yes


Why does ice stay over the liquid water on ponds and lakes?

When water is frozen, it expands, so ice has a greater volume than water. Also, since density is the volume of an object divided by its mass, and since ice has the same mass


Why does water at depth in lakes stay cold even on hot summer days?

It takes more heat to raise the temperature of a given volume of water a certain number of degrees than it does to raise the same volume of any other liquid the same number of degrees.


How are solids and liquids different that gases in terms of volume changed?

the volume of them all stay the same


When testing the effect of stirring on dissolving what is the independent variable?

stirring. the amount of disolving going on is going to depend on the amount of liquid but the stirring will always stay the same


A liquid takes the shape of its container and keeps the same volume?

Due to the constant motion of the particles in a liquid, the particles could theoretically keep moving so that the liquid never takes a form. But putting the liquid into a container effectively throws a huge wall in front of the moving particles that they cannot get past. the particles hit the sides of the container and change direction. The liquid then remains in that shape despite the fact that its particles are still moving (hitting the sides of the container). Because a liquid has stronger intermolecular forces than gases, the liquid stays in liquid form and does not just evaporate once it is put into a container and its particles hit an obstacle.


What is a kind of matter with a volume and a shape that both stay the same?

solid


What is a form of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape?

The state of matter that has definite volume, but indefinite shape is the liquid state. A solid constantly has the same shape and volume. A wooden block (solid) will not change its shape or volume unless it is melted, but that would involve changing it from solid to liquid. A liquid constantly has the same volume, but its shape changes. Find a cylindrical container that has the same volume as a rectangular container. Fill the cylindrical container with water. Then, pour the water to the rectangular container. The shape of the water changed from cylindrical to rectangular and the volume remained the same, unless some water was dropped in the process. A gas has changing shape and volume. Find a small container full of a colored gas. Open in it inside a room. The gas will spread all over the room. Its volume changed from the volume of the container to the size of the room. Its shape has changed from the shape of the container to the shape of the room.
