Does the density of a liquid change with the shape of a container?

No. the density is a characteristic of the liquid itself and not dependant on the container holding the liquid. Think of it this way: would the boiling point of a liquid change with the shape of a container? Another thought: think of a very rich, dense chocolate cake, as opposed to a very light angel food cake. You can have a very thin slice of the chocolate cake, or a ridiculously decadent slab. both pieces have the same quality of denseness, even if one is much more fun to eat.

∙ 13y agoThe container doesn't change the shape of a liquid. The liquid is just there. The liquid takes on the shape of the container. The container can't change the shape of the liquid only the liquid that changes it's shape as the form of the container.

Well, there is no shape to water. If you have a container the water takes on the shape of the container, but that is not the waters shape, it is the container that the water is in. So even though the water has formed into a shape, it is that containers shape and not the water's shape.
