Can liquids fill any container?

Yes, liquids can fill containers as long as the container can hold the volume of the liquid. The shape and size of the container will determine how the liquid fills it. Liquids will take the shape of the container they are poured into.


Which element will uniformly fill a closed 2.0 liter container at STP?

At Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP), one mole of any ideal gas will occupy 22.4 liters. So to fill a 2.0 liter container at STP, you would need 2.0/22.4 = 0.089 moles of an ideal gas. This means any gas that is present in that amount and under those conditions can uniformly fill the container.


What is the difference of gas and liquid compressed?

Gas is compressible and will expand to fill any container it is put in. Liquid is not compressible and will maintain a fixed volume regardless of the container it is in.


How can gas fill a container of any size or shape?

it goes by the kind of car you use a t what brand gas was always used in it when u bought it. if you are buying a brand new car then u start it off of what kind of gas will be used and being that gas is a liquid it just flows in any kind of car hole because all cars have whole openings for gas. Personally I don't think the above person understood the question... A gas is able to fill a container because it has no fixed volume or shape, therefore using diffusion to fill the empty spaces; now you have a container full of a gas.


What kind of matter takes the shape and size of any container?

Gases can take the shape and size of any container because they have particles with high kinetic energy that move freely and independently. This allows them to fill and conform to the shape of their container.

Does a gas fill any container which it is put in?

Yes, gas will uniformly fill any container it is put in to fill the available space. The gas molecules will spread out to evenly fill the space they are contained in.

Why does gas fill any container you put it in?

Gas has no fixed volume or shape, therefore using diffusion to fill the empty spaces and filling the container.


What has molecules that can spread far apart to fill any shape or container?

Gases have molecules that can spread far apart to fill any shape or container. The particles in a gas are in constant random motion, allowing them to quickly fill the available space.


It has no definite shape and fills its container?

A gas has no definite shape and will fill any container it's in.


What is the matter in a gas state will out to fill its container?

The gas molecules move freely and independently from one another, filling the entire volume of their container because of their high kinetic energy. This results in the gas taking the shape of its container and exerting pressure on its walls evenly.


What kind of movement do the particles in gas have?

The particles fill any spot it can fill in a container. The particles are spread apart.

Does a gas have a fixed shape or volume?

No, a gas can fill the space of any container


Does a vapour keep its shape?

No. It expands to fill any container it's in. If you pump it out of one container and into a different one, it changes its shape to match the new container.


A fluid that will expand to fill a closed container is called a what?

A fluid that will expand to fill a closed container is called a gas. Gases have the ability to fill the entire volume of a container because their particles are in constant, random motion and have enough energy to overcome any forces that may confine them.


What is true about gas?

a gas has a fixed shape and will expand or shrink to fill any container
