Why does gas have a definite mass?

It doesn't, it expands and contracts in the space it has.


How does a liquid thermometer measure temperature?

The alcohol or mercury in a thermometer expands or contracts very precisely according to heat or cold.


What type of matter expands to fill an available space?

Gases are able to expand to fill any available space because their particles are in constant, random motion and have enough kinetic energy to overcome the forces of attraction between them.


Is matter being transformed into space by black holes?

No, when the big bang happend dark matter and dark energy came. Dark matter expands space even as we speak.


Why concrete roads have gaps?

because it expands and contracts depending on the temperature..the gaps allow the concrete some space to expand so that it will not crack..


What is a state of matter that expands to fill its container in 3 letters?

The state of matter that expands to fill its container in three letters is "gas." Gases have no fixed shape or volume, allowing them to expand and occupy the entire space available in their container. This characteristic results from the high kinetic energy of gas molecules, which move freely and are spaced far apart.


What liquid expands instead of contracts when frozen?

Water is a liquid that expands when it freezes. This is due to the unique structure of water molecules, causing them to form a crystalline lattice when frozen, which takes up more space than liquid water.


What matter does not take the shape of a container?

Gas is a form of matter that does not take the shape of the container it is in. Instead, it expands to fill the space it is in, making it the only type of matter that does not have a fixed shape.


What changes takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is placed into something hot?

The liquid in thermometers expands when temperature increases (and contracts when temperature decreases). When it expands, the only place for it to expand 'to' is up the thermometer (into the empty space above it).


What theory states that the universe started as a ball of matter which expands and still expanding?

No such cosmological model exists. What you relate e is one description of Big Bang Cosmology (BBC), but that description is WRONG. BBC does NOT postulate that matter is expanding from a small, dense blob into empty space; rather, it describes a Universe in which SPACE ITSELF is growing at a (more or less) steady rate. Matter density is not decreasing in the way that ink density decreases as it expands into a large container of liquid; rather, the density of matter is decreasing because space is expanding as the amount of matter remains the same. Also, space is not expanding into anything, like an exploded material expands into the space around it. Space is just expanding, period. It is difficult to visualize, but the math works out just fine.


What was the method of achieving warp speed in Star Trek?

The method for achieving warp speed in Star Trek is to warp the space around the vessel and leave the vessel in a pocket of normal space. It contracts space time in front of the vessel and expands the space time behind it.


What is the volume for the three states of matter?

The volume of a solid is fixed and maintains a specific shape. The volume of a liquid is determined by its container but it takes the shape of the container. The volume of a gas is not fixed and expands to fill the available space.
