How do you decide whether a sample of matter is a solid liquid or gas?

The differences between a solid, liquid and gas are simple! A solid is an object that has a set volume, and is hard to compress. A liquid will take the shape of its container, but is hard to compress. A gas will take the shape of its container, and is easy to compress.

∙ 10y agowhen the substance is hard its solid, its liquid if it gets u wet and gas if it evaporates.

∙ 11y agoGases have no defined shape or volume- they can be compressed. Liquids and solids cannot.

What states of matter are classified as fluids?
How much thermal energy is needed to convert a 2.0-kg sample of liquid methanol into a gas?
When a physical change occurs in a sample of matter which is the matter that does not change?
composition
What is a measure of the pull of gravity on a sample of matter?
gravity
What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
A loss of kinetic energy in the atoms or molecules of a sample of matter will result in the cooling of the sample. That sample will get colder as remove thermal energy from it. The atoms/molecules of a substance have kinetic energy associated with them. This kinetic energy is the result of atomic and/or molecular motion. As a sample of matter cools, the atoms and/or molecules will lose mobility. Loss of mobility and vibrational energy, which are forms of kinetic energy, will become apparent when thermal energy is removed from the sample.
What is the phase of matter not having definite volume or definite shape?
Of the three classic phases or states (solid, liquid, gas), gases do not have a defined shape or volume, which is determined by the shape and volume of their containers. A sample will have a defined mass, and the volume into which that mass is confined determines the pressure of the gas.
How is a mixture determined to be heterogeneous or homogeneous?
One way to decide whether a sample of matter is homogeneous or heterogeneous is just by looking at it.
How could you tell if an sample of matter is an element?
Because it is a element that is a liquid at a room tempeture

What is the property of a substance no matter whether the sample is large or small?
It is the behaviour exhibited by matter in various chemical, physical or biological reactions or treatments.

When a sample of liquid is cooled its thermal energy?
When a sample of liquid is cooled its thermal energy goes to its surroundings
Is a water is a sample is a sample of matter?
Yes!
What song did biggie sample for nasty boy?
Contains a sample of "Cavern" by Liquid Liquid
What is an example sentence using the word particulate matter?
That's two words, you know.Particulate matter settles out of a solution.Strain the particulate matter out of the liquid and collect it.
You decide to select ten percent of the inmates in a prison to receive a survey. You decide you want your sample to be representative of the population. Which sampling process would provide the most representative sample?
a stratified random sample
Why cant mass used as a property to identify a sample of matter?
Mass is an extensive property, which depends only on the amount of matter in the sample, not on the composition of the sample.
