What else can I help you with?
Why are the three states of water different?
The three states of water (solid, liquid, gas) are different due to changes in temperature and pressure. In a solid state, water molecules are tightly packed and have a fixed shape and volume. In a liquid state, water molecules have more freedom to move around but still have a fixed volume. In a gas state, water molecules have high energy and are spread out with no fixed shape or volume.
What is the state of matter that has no fixed sides but has a definite volume?
Water. Properties of water are;has definite volume, intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker than in solids, lacks fixed shape(takes the shape of the container) and molecules are far apart
What are the 3 state of matters?
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume.
State of matter with no definite shape but with definite volume?
No state of matter corresponds to this. Solids are the only state with definite shape, but they have a definite volume too.
Does water have a fixed volume?
Yes it does. We know this because if you have a pump that is filled to the brim with water and try to pump, you will be incapable of doing so.
Is mouthwash a solid a liquid or a gas?
A solid has a fixed volume and shape. Like a bar of soap. A liquid has a fixed volume, but no fixed shape, like water. A gas has no fixed volume and no fixed shape. Like a burp. If you pour mouthwash into a glass, it still has volume, but now it takes on the shape of the glass. Hmmm. Sounds mighty liquidy, does it not?
What state of matter changes shape when placed into a container?
A gas changes shape when placed into a container. Gases do not have a fixed shape or volume, and they expand to fill the space available to them. This is in contrast to solids and liquids, which have a fixed shape and volume.
What phase of matter has a definite size and volume but not a definite shape?
Solids are the only phase of matter which have a fixed shape and volume.
Is water vapor in matter?
Water vapor is a gaseous state of water molecules in the air. It is not considered matter in the traditional sense because it doesn't have a fixed volume or shape.
What state has a definite volume but no shape?
water
What is fixed volume?
Fixed volume In terms of gases,is that a fixed volume would mean that the pressure, temperature and the number of molecules can change but the volume, or area in which the molecules lie, must remain constant. Think of a metal drinking bottle versus a plastic bottle. You cannot squirt water from a metal bottle because the shape is fixed, therefore the volume. You can squirt water from a plastic bottle because you can change the shape and reduce the volume.
Do not have a definite shape but they have a definite volume?
WATER has no definite shape but has definite volume.
