Liters and any denomination of liters are a unit of volume. The definition of matter includes that it has to take up space - volume. So you can indeed use liters and milliliters to measure the volume of a solid. However, the alternative is to use meters (cubed) and any denomination of meters to represent volume. You could say that something is 1.00 liters or you could say that the same thing is 1000 cm3.

Do solids keep their volumes?

Yes, solids keep their volume.


How do you express volume?

Volume can be expressed in cubic units such as cubic meters (m^3) or cubic centimeters (cm^3) for solids, and in liters (L) or milliliters (mL) for liquids. It represents the amount of space occupied by an object or substance. Mathematically, volume is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of an object.


How is gas different from solids and liquids?

Both liquids and Solids have definite volumes


What do both liquids and solids fix?

Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes.


The law of combining volumes applies only to gas volumes?

The law of combining volumes states that the ratios of volumes of reacting gases can be expressed as small whole number ratios. This law is based on the assumption that gases behave ideally, meaning they occupy the same amount of space as predicted by the ideal gas law. Therefore, this law does not apply to the volumes of liquids or solids.


Metric units for volume?

Common metric units for volume include milliliters (mL), liters (L), and cubic meters (m^3). Milliliters are often used for small volumes, such as in cooking, while liters are used for larger volumes, such as in measuring liquid quantities. Cubic meters are typically used for larger volumes, such as in the context of measuring the volume of a room or a container.


Do solids have volumes that stay the same?

Normally, yes.


How many cubic centimeters are in 5 millimeters?

Impossible to answer because cubic centimeters are a VOLUME, and millimeters is a LENGTH. Perhaps you meant to use the word 'millilitres' which IS a volume. Milliliters and Cubic Centimetres are ALWAYS equal to each other. The volume of LIQUIDS are usually expressed in milliliters ( ml) and the volume of SOLIDS are usually expressed in cubic centimeters (cc)

What properties of solids determine the volumes and surface area?

Resistance to deformation.


How are measurements of volume for solids and liquids alike?

Measurements of volume for both solids and liquids involve determining the amount of space that the substance occupies. This is typically done using measuring tools such as a graduated cylinder for liquids and a ruler or geometric formulas for solids. The volume of a solid or liquid is usually expressed in cubic units such as cubic centimeters or milliliters.


Does solids have volumes that change easily?

no because a solid has particles tightly packed it is hard to change a solid
