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.
How much space would 2.56 moles of xenon gas occupy at STP?
According to the ideal gas law, all gases occupy about 22.4 liters per moleof space at standard temperature and pressure, so 22.4x2.56=57.34 liters.
What final volume will the gas occupy after the stopcock is open?
The answer will be the sum of the Flask A and Flask B. The Reason: A gas occupies all the space within a container.
What are some of the general properties of gases that distinguish them from liquids and solids?
Some properties or characteristics that distinguish gases from solids and liquids are that they are compressible and also can expand to fill the volume in a container. Likewise, gas molecules are far apart and can occupy more space when compared to those of solids or liquids.
Why do gases expand to fill any available volume?
This can be explained in terms of the kinetic molecular theory of gases. Due to the low density of gases, the particles are more widely spaced and so most of the volume taken up by a gas is empty space (as in any shaped container).

Do solid occupy space?
Yes, a solid, liquid, gas as well as the other states of matter all occupies space. 2. But the space occupied by gases and liquids is not necessarily of fixed dimensions.
Does gas flow freely and will not occupy the space given?
No, because gas particles have space in between them so they occupy the given space. For example, when you boil a pot of water, after a while, you start to see steam coming out of the top. That is why it will fill the container. Liquids however, do not occupy the space given unless there are enough particles in the liquid to fill the space to the top.
Why can gases change volume?
Gases can change volume because they take up the whole space of the container, room, etc. that they are contained in.
What occupies the greatest amount of space which state of matter?
the gases, due to their low density in comparison to solids or fluids occupy the greatest amount of space
What is the substance called that occupies the entire volume of the container?
This would be a gas. A gas expands to fill the space of the container that contains it.
How about smoke does it have mass does it occupy space why?
Yes, smoke is a combination of hot gases and particulates (e.g. soot, fly ash).
What happens when particles are of matter are forced closely together?
The substance would occupy less space. This is only possible with gases. Density increases (with solids, liquids, and especially gases)

Does smoke occupy space?
yes,smoke does have mass and it does occupy space
Matter does not occupy space but has mass?
Matter does occupy space, and does have mass.
Does stone occupy space?
A stone has a solid mass and does occupy space.
