Why liquid water has a fixed volume whereas steam does not?
Liquid water has a fixed volume because its molecules are closely packed together, allowing it to maintain a definite shape and volume. In contrast, steam is a gas, where water molecules are much farther apart and move freely, leading to no fixed volume. Gases expand to fill their containers, meaning steam can occupy a much larger volume than the liquid form. This fundamental difference in molecular arrangement and behavior explains the variance in volume between liquid water and steam.
Which state would the substance be if it had no fixed volume?
The substance would be in a gaseous state if it had no fixed volume. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and can expand to fill the container they are in.
Im a sbstance that has a fixed volume and a fixed shape?
Solids are substances which have a fixed volume and fixed shape. Liquids, on the other hand, have a fixed volume but no definite shape. Finally, gases don't have a definite volume or shape.
What is a substance that has a fixed volume?
A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you put it into a graduated cylinder, it will take the shape of the cylinder. If you put it into a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl.
Can a rock have a fixed volume but not a fixed shape?
No, a rock cannot have a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. Solids, including rocks, have both a fixed volume and a fixed shape due to the closely packed arrangement of their particles. While some materials can change shape (like liquids), they still maintain a fixed volume. In contrast, rocks, being solids, retain both characteristics.
Does water have a fixed volume?
Yes it does. We know this because if you have a pump that is filled to the brim with water and try to pump, you will be incapable of doing so.
Does water has a fixed volume?
No, it does not. The volume of water changes according with it's temperature. Water, unlike other substances, it has a minimum volume at 4 degrees Celsius.
What is fixed volume?
Fixed volume In terms of gases,is that a fixed volume would mean that the pressure, temperature and the number of molecules can change but the volume, or area in which the molecules lie, must remain constant. Think of a metal drinking bottle versus a plastic bottle. You cannot squirt water from a metal bottle because the shape is fixed, therefore the volume. You can squirt water from a plastic bottle because you can change the shape and reduce the volume.
What state of water has a fixed volume and shape?
Solid water, in other words Ice.
Is mouthwash a solid a liquid or a gas?
A solid has a fixed volume and shape. Like a bar of soap. A liquid has a fixed volume, but no fixed shape, like water. A gas has no fixed volume and no fixed shape. Like a burp. If you pour mouthwash into a glass, it still has volume, but now it takes on the shape of the glass. Hmmm. Sounds mighty liquidy, does it not?
Why are the three states of water different?
The three states of water (solid, liquid, gas) are different due to changes in temperature and pressure. In a solid state, water molecules are tightly packed and have a fixed shape and volume. In a liquid state, water molecules have more freedom to move around but still have a fixed volume. In a gas state, water molecules have high energy and are spread out with no fixed shape or volume.
Do Liquids have a fixed but do not have a fixed?
No, liquids do not have a fixed volume - their volume is that of the container
Has no fixed volume or shape?
A gas has no fixed volume or shape.
What is the state of matter that has no fixed sides but has a definite volume?
Water. Properties of water are;has definite volume, intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker than in solids, lacks fixed shape(takes the shape of the container) and molecules are far apart
What has a volume but not a fixed shape?
A solid has a fixed volume and does not change shape.
How a liquid and a solid different?
A solid has a fixed volume and form. A liquid has a fixed volume but has the form of a container. A gas has not a fixed volume or form.
What are the 3 state of matters?
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume.
