the volume of any liquid that can fill half of an ordinary glass
Super-cooled liquidsA gas takes the shape of its container and fills it, as well. A liquid takes the shape of its container but doesn't fill it necessarily. A solid has a definite volume and shape and usually, but not always, exhibits a crystalline structure. Solids that do not have a crystalline structure are sometimes called "super-cooled liquids" because liquids have no crystalline structure. Glass is a good example of a solid that has no crystalline structure.
The meaning of indefinite volume is that the sample would expand to fill the entire container. Gases are the only thing to do this.
A pipette is used to accurately measure the volume of a liquid in the laboratory. In the school laboratory the pipette is usually a glass bulb with a glass tube on either end. There is a line on the tube to indicate how high to fill the pipette to measure the required volume.
Shaving gel is a liquid: it has no crystaline structure; it flows; and it takes the shape of its container (although it doesn't FILL its container, as a gas does). And consider this: Jell-O -- the edible version, not the powder in the box -- is also a liquid, even when it's set! And many people consider glass -- yes, glass! -- to be a "super-cooled" liquid, because it lacks crystaline structure and will, believe it or not, flow, albeit over very long periods of time. Panes of glass in very old windows tend to be thicker at the bottom than the at top because gravity causes the glass to "ooze" downward.
The amount of a liquid that is displaced by a solid = the volume of that solid. You could half fill a graduated cylinder. Drop something that sinks into the graduated cylinder to test its volume.
glass is a bad counductor of heat, so at first the glass flasks expands and its volume inside increases. the liquid which has not started to expand yet, drops to fill the extra volume inside
Water is a liquid for starters... & The definition of a liquid is "A matter that has a definite volume but NO definite shape." Therefore it's shape can move around.
because liquid have definite volume but not definite shape and gas does not have definite shape or volume but it fill space
It depends on what type of volume you are looking for. If its liquid volume, then measure at the rim of the water. If its solid volume then fill the glass up to, well, 5 and slowly put the object in it. Lets says the water went up to 8. Then the volume would be 3.
fill glass with dry sand , sand will hold its own volume of liquid , and a pint of water = 2 pints in a pint glass
I believe Archimedes came up with this... Fill a beaker or glass to the brim with water. Place the beaker in a bath, bowl or similar. Gently place the rock into the glass of water, allow the liquid to overflow into the bowl. The water displaced by the rock (which is now in the bowl and you can measure the volume of) is the volume of the rock. Hope this helps!

Because the volume of air gets less as you fill it - making a higher sound.
Since bacteria multiply in a geometric progression, the glass would be half full exactly one cycle before the watch glass is entirely full, by volume. Assuming none of the bacteria die during the process of multiplication. (NOT REQUIRED)
A 10 ML of liquid can't fill a 20 ML container because although liquids do not have a definite shape they have a definite volume.
It will fill any container you evaporate it into, and still exert pressure on the inside of the container in its relentless quest for more volume. That's just what gases do.
perhaps you drank some before you poured it in.
