What is the shape of a liquid?
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
Do liquid and gas take up the same space as the container?
Gases will expand or contract to the volume of the container they are in, so gases do. However, liquids have fixed volumes, so they do not. In other words, a liter of water will remain a liter of water whether it is in a bucket or a swimming pool. However, the same quantity of gas may have different volumes depending on the container.
Can atoms from liquids move away from each other enough to always fill the container?
No because it must be at least one molecule thick. If the liquid would get that thin it could go pretty far. But this is not the case. With water this is naturally not the case. Water tends to stay near water. So if you where to put a cup of water in a huge container....... you would just have a puddle.
Do liquids have a shape of its own?
Water, or liquids do not have a shape
What do you mean by immescible liquids?
Immiscible liquids are liquids that don't dissolve in one another. Two examples of immiscible liquids would be alcohol and water and gasoline and water.
Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. What happens when the two liquids are poured into the same container?
The liquids do not mix. They are said to be immiscible.
Can liquids be poured?
because water particles are not tightly packed together they can mould to the shape of the container they are in. if you had water in a sealed container and you tip it one way then tip it the other way the surface of the water would always be facing upwards. When you pour any liquid it will slide down the container - the surface will still be facing upwards - and slide into the new container.because liquids is kind of water
What enables water to be poured from one container to another container?
gravity?
What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured into a container with a different shape?
Liquids take on the shape of any container they are placed in. If the volume of the container is less than the total volume of the liquid, them the difference in quantity will overflow the top of the container.
Is the volume of air inside a container still the same when some water is poured inside?
No, the water displaces the air if the container is open.
A cube is a container that holds liquids?
An example of a cube that can hold liquid is an ice tray. An ice tray is made up of several cubes. Water is poured into these cubes then frozen to help cool drinks.
Which of these liquids flows fastest when poured?
The liquid that flows the fastest when poured is the least viscus. This liquid might be liquid water for example.
Can freezing liquids break container?
Only the few liquids that expand when they freeze like water. But yes, they can.
How do liquids take shape of the container they are poured into?
The different layers are formed because the two liquids are not compatible, or do not mix well. The order of the layers is always from the densest liquid on the bottom to the least dense liquid on top. For example, oil and water, water is denser so it sinks to the bottom and the oil floats. Liquids may form layers whether or not they are of equal volume.
What is the height of this quantity of water if it is poured into a cylindrical container of radius 2?
The height of this quantity of water would be exactly that much!
When given 2 containers of colourless liquids one of the container has water in it without tasting the liquids what experiment can be done to find out which container has water?
Take the mass of each liquid, divide by the volume, and that gives you density. If the density is nearly 1g/mL, it is water.
Why can water be poured in a beaker until it nearly overfills the brim?
because water is a liquid and liquids are easy to pour most of the time and that is what a beaker is for.
