Gas will always fill any container that it is in, since it will expand to fill any available space. Liquid does not expand, it has a fixed volume, therefore depending upon how much liquid you pour into your container, the container may or may not be filled.

Does a liquid take up a different amount of space when it is put in to a different container?

No, the volume of a liquid remains constant regardless of the container it is placed in. However, the shape of the liquid may change to fit the shape of the container, giving the illusion of occupying a different space.


Does a liquid takes up a different amount of space when put into a different countainer?

No it just takes the shape of the container. Same amount of space (volume). Generally speaking you can really compress a liquid but not noticeable before it solidifies (for most liquids). Different deal for Newtonian liquids tho.


What is Volume of a liquid?

Volume is represented by how much space a solid, liquid, or gas takes up. Liquids can take the shape of any container they are put in. However, unlike a gas, they have a given volume.


Does liquid takes up a definite amount of space?

Yes, a liquid does take up a definite amount of space, which is to say that it has a definite volume. A liquid takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill it completely like a gas would.


Does a solid take up a different amount of space when it is put into a different container?

No. A solid has a definite volume no matter what container it is placed in.


what is the amount of space enclosed in the container?

Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, for example, the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains. So, The amount of space enclosed within a container is known as Volume.

How is volume different from perimeter and area?

Volume is the amount of liquid a container can hold. Perimeter is the length of the borders outside a 2D figure. Area is the total space in a 2D shape.


Why can a container of liquid be half-filled but a container of gas is always fully filled?

A container of gas is always full because a gas will always take up the amout of space it is given. Just imagine a bunch of floating molecules in a container whose motion is random and bouncing all over the place. Unlike, a liquid who always has a definite amount of volume will only take up the amount of space it can.
