Best Answer

Solids- stays the same

Liquids- stays the same

Gases- decreases

You can use the formula PV/T=P2V2/T2

P=initial pressure

V=initial volume

T=initial temp

P2=final pressure

V2=final volume

T2=final temp

they all contract.


What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?

solids and liquids


What do solids liquids and gases have that are different?

Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.


What happens to solid liquids and gases when they are heated?

Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases


Do solids liquids and gases have a definite volume?

Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'


What are some examples of how gases are different from liquids and solids?

I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .


Why are solids USUALLY more dense liquids and gases?

Solids are usually more dense because solids have a smaller volume than liquids or gases, so the same amount of mass is in a smaller volume, making the density greater.


What happens to the density of solids liquids and gases when they are heated?

they are compromised.


Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?

Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.


Do solids have a fixed shape and volume?

Yes they do. Liquids have no fixed shape and gases have no fixed volume.


How are solids and liquids different that gases in terms of volume changed?

the volume of them all stay the same


How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?

ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
