How is mass and volume determined density?
If the object has a regular shape, like a cube or sphere, its volume can be calculated readily from solid geometry. Weight divided by volume gives density. For an irregular shape, one trick for finding volume is to submerge it in a calibrated container of water. The amount of increase in the volume of the water is the volume of the object. * * * * * Mosttly correct but density = mass/volume not weight/volume. Mass is not the same as weight.
Why does a solid maintain its shape regardless of its container?
A gas is a substance whose molecules are in constant, rapid, random motion. As a result, a gas will spread out and take on the shape and volume of whatever container it is in-whether a jar, a room, or the atmosphere! This is very different from a liquid or a solid. The molecules in a liquid do not move as fast as those in a gas. A liquid can take on the shape of its container but will keep the same volume, no matter what container it is in. The molecules in a solid just vibrate in place. That is why a solid will retain both its shape and its volume.
Does the volume of water increase when you add a solid?
The water level of the container will rise, and the total volume increases. But the volume of the water itself remains the same.
How do you find the density of a liquid?
To find the density of a liquid, you must find its mass and volume. To find the mass, use a triple beam balance, put the liquid into a container, weigh it, subtract the weight of the container, and that is how to get the mass. Then, to find the volume, use a graduated cylinder, put the liquid into the container, and then find the mark where the liquid line lands, and that is your volume. Then, divide your mass by your volume, and there is your density in grams per centimeter cubed (g/cm3).
What is true of all particles of a gas encloosed within a container?
Well, since a gas spreads to encompass its container, it should have the same volume as its container.
What happens to the volume of a solid when it is moved to a larger container?
The volume of the solid remains the same.
Which state of the three states of matter is the volume most affect?
A solid will remain the same volume and shape A liquid will remain the same volume but change shape to its container A gas will expand its volume to fill its container entirely
What has a different shape but the same volume in any container?
In a really general way of answering this (I am not going to put this into context) assuming the substances have the same mass,a substance (X) with a density n greater than a substance (Y), will have a volume that is equal to (X)n-(Y) this means that the object with the same mass, but greater density, would have a volume that is less than the object with the lesser density.

What form of matter has no definite shape but has a definite volume?
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.
What is the volume and mass of water?
The volume of water is the same as the mass of water. So if you have 100ml of water you actually have 100g of water.

What is the mass of a coin-?
Drop 10 coins of the same size and mass into a container filled with water, making sure that the water that overflows from the container is collected. Now measure the volume of the water overflow an multiply it with the density of water which is 1 kg/l. Now divide the total mass by 10 to get the mass of one coin.
What is the volume of neon?
The volume of a gas is the same as the volume of its container.
What is the difference between solid liquid gases in mass?
Nothing, if it is the same amount of material in all three phases.If however it is the same volume and pressure then solid and liquid phases will have about equal mass but the gas phase will have much less mass.
Does the volume of water increase when you add a solid?
The water level of the container will rise, and the total volume increases. But the volume of the water itself remains the same.
