In everyday life it's not, but when you understand mass and how to get it, you'll be able to understand more complex ideas related to mass, and you will be able to understand people when they talk about it.

What has a indefinite shape and indefinite volume?
AnswerThe state of matter that has indefinite shape and volume is gas. Because, solids and liquids have shapes, and can be measued. liquids also have an indefinite shape.
Do solids and liquids have fixed volumes?
Yes a liquid soes have a fixed volume no matter in any apparatus
How is boiling point used in chemistry?
If you know a boiling point, you can separate two different liquids that are mixed together. If the two liquids have different boiling points, you can boil them both. One of the liquids will reach its boiling point before the other liquid and start to evaporate. One of the liquids will have evaporated and will be separated from the liquid with the higher boiling point. This is called distillation. Jarachia ~ x
Why can 2 liquids have same boiling points but be different liquids?
The answer is simple: it is easy to separe liquids with very different boiling points.
Can all materials exist as solids liquids and gasses at different temperatures?
I think Helium is the only standout that cannot be made into a solid at low enough temperature. All solids may be made into a gas /plasma at high enough temperature. add. note. Maybe He can be made solid with sufficient pressure - but maybe only the Sci-fi writers know.
How does solids liquids and gases benefit us?
All I know is that we drink liquids, breath gases, but how does solids help?
Does change in pressure affect the solubility of solids?
The solubility of solids and liquids show virtually no changes with pressure. However, solubility increases with pressure in the solubility of gases in liquids.
Do gases are more easily squashed than solids and liquids?
how am i suposed to know
Why isn't it easy to separate a mixture of liquids?
its hard be cause you are not able to separate the different liquids if their combined also know as a solution.
What are two differences between a liquid and a solid?
Liquids can fill the shape of an object, and Solids have a defiant shape. Easy one: Liquids are measured in volume's, and Solids are measured in Grams. THE MORE YOU KNOW.
What instrument is being used to spin liquids to separate components?
We know that a centrifuge is used for this purpose.
Does anyone know three facts about solids?
I know 2 facts about solids! 1. Their particles are close together 2. Their particles vibrate alot and close together that's all i know sorry . from chocolate bear i have the third one! 3. Solids are usually more dense than liquids or gases, but not always. there! bmrockz00
Who first discovered solids liquids and gases?
don't know but the ancient Greeks added fire to that list and called them the four elements. so they knew of them but misunderstood them. all solids were some form of "earth", all liquids some form of "water", all gasses some form of "air", then there was fire.
Can you crush sulfur?
I don't know exactly what you mean by "crush". It is certainly possible to grind solid sulfur into a fine powder. Solids (and liquids) are usually incompressible, to a first approximation.
Is a kite a solid liquid or a gas?
a kite is a solid. by the way this answer is kind of funny considering you should know this by know. Here are some examples of solids, liquids, and gases. 1. liquid: water, 2. solid: kite, 3. gas: the air you breath.
Can you melt powders into liquids?
Definitely. Powders are simply solids broken into smaller particles. As we know, melting is the phase change from the solid state to the liquid state. Thus, we can definitely melt powders.
Why do you know that some waves only travel through solid portions of the earth?
Answer: same reason sound waves can travel though solids. think of air being like a liquid. Answer: In the case of mechancial waves, a transverse wave can go through solids, but not through liquids and gases.
