What else can I help you with?
A container of this substance is always completely full?
A container of liquid is always completely full, as the liquid takes the shape of the container and fills all available space.
What matter allows particulars to move freely in all directions until they have spread evenly throughout their container?
Gas certainty and liquid if the container is absolutely full.
What would you use to measure an irregular objects volume?
I would place it in a container full of liquid after measuring the liquid. I would measure the amount of liquid displaced by the object. That amount is equal to the volume of the irregular object if it is fully submerged in the liquid.

Why a can container of liquid be half filled but a container of gas is always completely filled?
No, it is not. Briefly there are three (common) states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Solid materials are just that -- solid. Liquid matter conforms to the sides and bottom of the container that it occupies, like a glass of water, which canbe half full. Gases, however, will "spread out" to all sides of the container they occupy. Using your example, the balloon cannot be half full because the gas will quickly conform to all of the sides of the container. A gas, therefore, will occupy a container that is technically always full.
Why can a container of liquid be half-filled but a container of gas is always fully filled?
A container of gas is always full because a gas will always take up the amout of space it is given. Just imagine a bunch of floating molecules in a container whose motion is random and bouncing all over the place. Unlike, a liquid who always has a definite amount of volume will only take up the amount of space it can.
Do liquid and gas take up the same space as the container?
Gases will expand or contract to the volume of the container they are in, so gases do. However, liquids have fixed volumes, so they do not. In other words, a liter of water will remain a liter of water whether it is in a bucket or a swimming pool. However, the same quantity of gas may have different volumes depending on the container.
What method would you use to find the density of a volatile liquid?
Put a container of known volume on a scale, and tare it. Then fill the container exactly to the full mark with the liquid, and record the weight. Divide the weight by the volume to get the density. The fact that it is volatile brings several considerations. If it is so volatile that some has evaporated by the time you weigh it, then it may be necessary to cap the container. Be sure to tare with the container and cap. Also, if it is a toxic volatile liquid, you may need to work in a fume hood.
How do you find the volume of a lacrosse ball?
1. Fill a vessel with a liquid (water) until it is brim full. 2. Place the lacrosse ball into the liquid until it is fully submerged, displacing the liquid. 3. Catch the displaced liquid in another container, and measure its volume with a measuring cylinder.
Is liquid a definite mass?
We're skeptical. We suspect that a supertanker full of oil probably contains more mass than a quart bottle of 10-40 does.
Amount by which cask or bottle falls short of being full?
The shortfall in volume of liquid in a cask or bottle is often referred to as ullage. It is the difference between the actual volume of liquid and the full capacity of the container. Ullage can occur due to evaporation, leakage, or other factors during storage or transportation.
State in which a substance completely fills its container?
Only a liquid can completely fill its container. While it may seem that a gas could, gas is compressible, so even if the container seems full of a gas, more can be put in, so it is never really full.
