The volume of an object is determined by the product of the surface area and the height of the object. Hence if the big container has a bigger height then the volume would certainly be greater. However, when talking about the volume of the liquid, it will be constant. This is because, although the height of the liquid will be reduced by putting it into a bigger container, the surface area is increased. Therefore, it will be constant.

Does a liquid have a definite shape and volume at room temperature?

Yes. A liquid has a definite shape and when a liquid is poured into a container, the liquid takes on the shape of the container.


What does this means that the liquid didn't have enough volume to fill their container?

perhaps you drank some before you poured it in.


What is the volume formula for liquid?

Depending on the shape of the container for the liquid, you can find the volume different ways. If the container is a cube, the volume is (base * Width * height). if the container is a cylinder, the volume is (PI * Radius2 * height). The answer you would get from these equations is expressed in units cubed (example: cm3).


Why can't 10ml of liquid fill a 20ml container?

A 10 ML of liquid can't fill a 20 ML container because although liquids do not have a definite shape they have a definite volume.


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.


Does orange juice change volume when poured into a different container?

Orange juice does not change volume when it is poured into a different container. Volume will change if the juice undergoes a process such as concentration.


What container appeared to have the least volume of liquid?

The container that appeared to have the least volume of liquid was Container B.


What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured into a container with a different shape?

Well, honey, the volume of the liquid stays the same no matter what shape container you pour it into. It's like trying to fit into a new pair of Spanx - your size doesn't change, just the way it's all squished in there. So, whether it's a cylinder, a cube, or a unicorn-shaped container, that liquid ain't gonna magically multiply or disappear.


Why does a liquid have a definite volume but gas does not?

Gas will always keep expanding until it fills the entire shape and volume of whatever container you put it in. Liquid won't do that. It just lays there in the bottom. It takes the shape of the container, but keeps the same volume it had when you poured it in there.


What does the word liquid mean in science?

In science, "liquid" refers to a state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Liquids flow and can be poured, but do not expand to fill the entire space of a container like gases.


What is matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container?

A liquid. A gas has no definite volume, as it's volume is whatever the volume of the container it is in happens to be. A solid, by it's nature of being solid, will not take on the shape of it's container.


What kind of substance can you pour from one container into another without a change in volume?

An incompressible substance like water can be poured from one container to another without a change in volume, assuming there are no losses due to splashing or evaporation.
