Why liquid take the shape of the container in which they kept?

Yes, the shape of a liquid takes on the container's shape.


When does raising the temperature of a gas increase its preasure?

This is the Gay-Lussac law: at constant volume of a gas the temperature increase when the pressure increase.


What will happen to the volume of the gas if the temperature is doubled?

Assuming all other variables are kept the same, the volume would double.


What is the basic tenet of the kinetic theory of matter?

kinetic theory of matter states that1.gas is made of a large number of small molecules.2.the molecules of the gas move randomly in all directions . During their motionthey hit the walls of the container which is responsible for the pressure.3. the volume occupied by the gas molecules is very small when compared to thetotal volume of the gas.(volume of the container in which the gas is kept)4. the force of attraction between the molecules of the gas is negligible.


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.

Liquid, take shape of container in which they are kept.


If the temperature of gas in the container decreases what happens to its pressure?

Assuming the volume is kept constant, the pressure will also decrease in this case.


If the volume of a container of air is reduced?

If the volume of a container of air is reduced by one half the partial pressure of the oxygen with in the container will be doubled. If the volume of a container of gas is reduced, the pressure inside the container will increase.


Which shape of matter has neither a definite shape nor definite volume?

The gas is the state of matter which do not have definite volume because it occupy all the space which is provided to it and the shape of container in which it is kept.


What will the pressure inside the container become if the piston is moved to the 1.80 L rm L mark while the temperature of the gas is kept constant?

This problem can be solved with the ideal gas law. The original pressure and volume of the container are proportional the final pressure and volume of the container. The original pressure was 1 atmosphere and the original volume was 1 liter. If the final volume is 1.8 liters, then the final pressure is 0.55 atmospheres.


If material is heated and expands the density of the material will?

This relies on 3 things. The Pressure, volume and temperature of a Gas is all related. If the pressure is kept the same and temperature increased. The Volume (of the container) must be increased. If the Volume (of the container) is kept constant and temperature is increased the Pressure will increase. A rough idea of what will happen can be worked out by, pV=cT Where p is the pressure, V is the volume of the container, c is a constant, T is the temperature.
