The amount of fluid a container can hold is called what?

It is usually called the capacity. It is basically the same thing as the volume.


A liquid takes the shape of its container and keeps the same volume?

Due to the constant motion of the particles in a liquid, the particles could theoretically keep moving so that the liquid never takes a form. But putting the liquid into a container effectively throws a huge wall in front of the moving particles that they cannot get past. the particles hit the sides of the container and change direction. The liquid then remains in that shape despite the fact that its particles are still moving (hitting the sides of the container). Because a liquid has stronger intermolecular forces than gases, the liquid stays in liquid form and does not just evaporate once it is put into a container and its particles hit an obstacle.


Is true or false that the crystals in each mineral are the same shape?

Crystals of a certain mineral have a regular formation of atoms. However, crystals of the same mineral can grow differently. The presence of trace minerals, variations in heat, pressure, and the space that they have to grow in can influence the shape of a crystal. Crystalline structures demonstrate characteristic geographic variations for these reasons.


What a solid liquid and gas have in common?

take up space and have particles


Information about science projects on insulation?

There are many possible science projects dealing with insulation. For example, build several small containers with each wrapped in a different insulating material, then put an icecube (all the same size!) in each container, and see how the time needed for the icecube to melt varies depending upon the type of insulation used. Or put a small light bulb in each container (all of the same wattage!) and then measure the resulting temperature in each container after ten minutes. Or make blankets of various different insulating materials and see which one keeps you warm at night the most effectively.

How can different kinds and shapes of containers have the same capacity?

Different kinds and shapes of containers can have the same capacity because capacity is determined by the volume of space inside the container, rather than its external shape or design. For example, a tall, narrow cylinder and a short, wide box can hold the same amount of liquid if their internal volumes are equal. This concept relies on the mathematical relationship between the dimensions of the container and the formula for calculating volume, which can vary widely across different geometries. As long as the total internal space is the same, the containers can have identical capacities.


How is solid different from gas?

Gas expands to fill up it's container, while if solids are put into the same container, the will not expand. They will stay the same size and shape.


What has a definite shape but the same volume in any container?

A solid has a definite shape but the same volume in any container.


Which state of matter keeps the same volume but changes shape when it changes container?

The state of matter that keeps the same volume but changes shape when it changes container is a liquid. Liquids do not have a fixed shape but take the shape of their container due to their ability to flow and fill the container.


How does pressure due to a liquid held in a container vary with depth amount and shape and size of the container?

Pressure due to a liquid increases with depth because of the weight of the liquid above it. The pressure in a liquid is the same at a given depth regardless of the shape or size of the container, as long as the depth is the same. The shape and size of the container would only affect the pressure at different depths in the liquid.


Something that keeps the same volume but fills the shape of its container is called?

A substance that keeps the same volume but takes the shape of its container is known as a liquid. Liquids have a fixed volume but can move and adjust to the shape of the container they are in.


A state of matter that always has the same shape as the container it fills. You can not see this matter?

Gas has the same shape as its container fills. But some gases are visible.


What is the Formula to find capacity when given volume?

Capacity is the same as the volume of the inside of a container. Often, in mathematical exercises, the internal and external volumes are assumed to be the same (ie thickness of the container is zero). In this case, the capacity is the same as the internal or external volume.


Would water pressure be the same at the same depth in two containers that had very different shapes?

Yes, water pressure at the same depth is determined by the height of the water column, not the shape of the container. As long as the depth is the same in both containers, the water pressure will be equal.


What happened to the shape of water as you transferred it from one container to another?
