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.


If there was 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot how much volume would 1lb of helium gas occupy?

That depends on the pressure inside the container. You can cram 1 lb of helium into any container, as small as you want. On the other hand, it'll always spread out and fill any container you put it in, no matter how large. So if you want to know how much volume a sample of helium will fill, you have to specify the pressure. By the way ... the temperature also affects the pressure of a gas, so you have to specify the temperature too.

How do fluids exert pressure on a container?

Fluids are constantly trying to spread out, and that exerts pressure on the container you put it in.


What happens to the pressure of a gas if the volume of its container was increased?

Assuming you haven't put any more gas in the container, the pressure will go down. Usually, the reason the volume of the container gets larger is that you put more gas in the container and the gas pressure in the container seeks to equalize with the pressure outside it.

Why does pressure of gases when you put it in a smaller container the pressure rises?

According to Boyle's law, the pressure of a gas depends on its volume, so if you lower the volume, the pressure increases.

Can water be round or square-shaped?

As a liquid water has no defined shape. It will take on the shape of the container it is put in.


Can water heat to 1000 degrees?

When water is confined under pressure greater than normal atmospheric pressure,a higher temperature is required to make it boil. Higher pressure can be createdsimply by sealing the container the water is in ... that's how pressure cookers work.Just seal the water in a container that can stand the pressure required to raise theboiling point to 1,000 degrees, keep adding heat, and you'll get there.NOTE:DO NOT try this at home. You don't know what pressure is required, youdon't know how much pressure your container can stand, and you have noway to measure the temperature of the water in it. If you put water in asealed container and heat it, the only thing that can be guaranteed for sureis that your container will explode, and the stronger the container is, the moreviolent the explosion will be.


How do you cook apple and rhubarb crumble in a pressure cooker?

Find a ceramic container which will fit in the pressure cooker. Cut up 1 bramley apple and put the slices in the ceramic container with one ounce of sugar and some mixed spice. Mix 4 ounces of plain flour, 2 ounces of sugar and 2 ounces of margarine and put these on top of the apple. Put a trivet and half an inch of water in the pressure cooker. Cover the ceramic container so the top of the pressure cooker lid doesn't drip into the crumble. Put the pressure cooker lid on. Bring up to high pressure for 45 minutes. Turn off heat, allow to cool slowly to release pressure. Serves one or two people


Explain what happens to a gas when it is put into a container?

The gas particles will spread out to encompass the entire volume of the container. The particles are constantly in motion and will run into the walls of the container creating pressure (basically). If heated, the particles will move faster, and slower if cooled.
