How are measurements of volume for solids and liquids alike?
Why liquid has no definite shape but has definite volume?
Yes, liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, compared to solids that have a definite shape and a definite volume or gasses that have neither a definite shape or volume.
What phases of matter have a definite shape?
Only a solid has a definite shape. It also has a definite volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but an indefinite shape. A gas has both an indefinte shape and volume. Same for plasma. Hope this helps!
Compare 3 states of matter in terms of volume and shape?
The 3 common states of matter are taken as Solid, Liquid and Gas or S, L, G. * Solid has a fixed volume and has its own definite shape; cannot be compressed. * Liquid has a fixed volume and takes the shape of its container; cannot be compressed. * Gas has the same volume as its container and fills its container therefore having no shape; gases can be compressed. Solids can not be compressed so we use solids to build houses or sit at a desk made from solids.Liquids can not be compressed so we use them in hydraulic hoses or sometimes as brake fluid.Gases can be compressed so when we sit on a nice padded couch we squash the air and make our selves comfortable.
How would you compare and contrast liquid water and ice in terms of how definite their shapes and volumes are?
Liquids have a variable shape take the shape of the container. Gases also have a variable shape and take the shape of the container.Liquids have a fixed volume. Gases have a variable volume and fill the container.
Does a solution of sulfuric acid have a definite volume and shape?
A solution of sulfuric acid will have the same properties as any other liquid. It will have a definite volume but its shape will be that of its container.
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.

How are measurements of volume for solids and liquids alike?
How are liquid mass and liquid volume alike?
Liquids, like solids have a definite volume. While liquids don't have a definite shape, they can take the shape of a container which can be measured the same way as with solids.
Do Gases have a definite shape and volume true or false?
False. Gases in a container take the shape of the container. The volume of a gas increases with temperature and inversely with pressure, except when in a closed container where volume remains the same as the volume of the container and the temperature and pressure will vary.
What properties do solids and liquids share?
A solid is matter with a definite shape and volume. A liquid is matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape. Why? Here is an example. When you pour a liquid from one container to another, the liquid takes the shape of the container. The volume of the liquid is the same. The properties that solids and liquids share are that they both have definite volume. Source- Mrs. Kristen Eichinger, Mrs. Cindy Surplus and my Harcourt Science book
Matter that a definite volume and a definite shape is?
A Solid because it has the same volume and shape unless you change its state of matter, it wont have the same volume or shape.
A liquid does not have a definite shape but does have a definite volume?
Nothin they are the same.
Why liquid has no definite shape but has definite volume?
Yes, liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, compared to solids that have a definite shape and a definite volume or gasses that have neither a definite shape or volume.

Will helium take the shape of its container?
Yes, helium will take the shape of its container. It is a gas and therefore does not have a definite shape or volume. It will fill any space available to it within the container.
