Which of the states of matter have mass and volume?

No. Volume can change drastically between different states of matter, especially between solid and gas.


Does a solid have definite mass?

Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. A solid object has to be made up of something to be solid, therefore it has mass.


Why find mass of irregular solid before finding volume?

So that the irregular solid isn't wet when you place it on the balance, since that would make it appear to have a greater mass than it actually does.


If a solid mass travels at the speed of light and it passes through the suns ray to earth would it be seen?

A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.


Why is it that when a solid dissolves in a liquid the mass of the solution that is made is the same as the mass of the solid added to the liquid?

this is because the amount of solute in the solution will have the same number of moles as that of the solid.

The mass of solid that occupies 2.50 liter volume?

That depends what substance comprises the solid that occupies the volume.More to the point, it depends on the 'density' of the substance.If the solid is a lump of cork, it has comparatively little mass.If the solid is a lump of ice, it's mass is slightly less than 2.5 kilograms.If the solid is a lump of lead or granite, it has comparatively more mass.


Why does diffusion happen when gases are mixed?

diffusion happen because of the motion of the gas particle which they are travelling faster than the particles in solid and liquid and the different atomic mass of the gases
