Heat causes substances to change their state because, when heated, the molecules within the substance to move around faster. The faster the molecules bounce about, the weaker they are held together.

What is density and what does it do?

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It describes how tightly packed the particles of a substance are. Density is important because it affects the physical properties of a material, such as whether it will float or sink in a liquid.


What are similarities and differences among solids liquids and gases in terms of their shape volume and mass?

beacause the solid has definate shape and volume a liquid has no definate shape a gas like liquid has no definate shape Volume is measured in cubic centimeter milliter (ml) Mass is directly related to the number and types of atoms present in the object


What substance has the lowest viscosity?

Water is the liquid that has the lowest viscosity and helium is the gas that has the lowest viscosity.


When the volume of a substance is zero the substance will exist or not?

There is some debate among theoretical physicists, about whether matter can exist in zero volume. In a sense, this defies belief, since matter exists in space (and time) and if the volume is zero, there is no space. On the other hand, the mathematical analysis of the gravitational collapse of a star into a black hole suggests that the collapse cannot be stopped, and will continue until volume reaches zero and density reaches infinity, creating an object called a singularity, which is unlike normal matter as we know it. This is a difficult subject to research and it may be a long time before we have a definitive answer. But for now, tentatively, I would have to say that yes, you can have a singularity with zero volume and infinite density, and the substance in the singularity does exist.


What measuring apparatus that can measure volume and liquid?

A graduated cylinder is a common measuring apparatus used to measure the volume of liquids accurately. It is a tall, narrow container with volume markings along its side to indicate the amount of liquid present.


One pound of liquid water frozen water (ice) and vaporized water (steam) are present under the same pressure. Which one would have the largest volume?

Under the same pressure, vaporized water (steam) would have the largest volume compared to liquid water (ice) and liquid water (water). This is because steam occupies a much larger volume due to the significant distance between water molecules in the gaseous state. Ice, while less dense than liquid water, still occupies less volume than steam. Therefore, steam has the greatest volume among the three states of water.


Which of the followin is a state of matter solution gel aerosol or liquid?

A liquid is a state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. A gel is a semi-solid state, and an aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in a gas. Therefore, among the options listed, liquid is the correct state of matter.

When the substance in the diagram is heated to T2 what has happened?

When the substance in the diagram is heated to T2, it undergoes a phase change or increase in temperature, depending on its initial state. If it reaches its melting or boiling point, it may transition from solid to liquid or liquid to gas, respectively. If it remains in the same phase, its temperature will increase, resulting in higher kinetic energy among its particles. The specific changes depend on the substance and the conditions presented in the diagram.
