There are a number off effects here, two that come to mind are the capillary effect and the wetting of the surface of the spout which has to do with the surface energies of the material of the spout and the liquid.

Does a liquid have a definite shape and volume at room temperature?

Yes. A liquid has a definite shape and when a liquid is poured into a container, the liquid takes on the shape of the container.


Does mass of liquid change when poured into another container?

No, the mass of the liquid remains the same when poured into another container. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and transferring the liquid from one container to another does not change the amount of matter present.


What is decanting?

'''''Decantation''''' is a fast method for separating a mixture of a liquid and a heavier solid. In this process , first the solid impurities are allowed to sediment at the bottom of the container. Then, the pure liquid is poured out carefully from the container into another container. The precipitate or solid is left behind at the bottom of the container.


What is the shape of a liquid?

A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.


What is the technique for pouring off the liquid at the top of a container with an insoluble substance?

To pour off the liquid at the top of a container with an insoluble substance, you can carefully tilt the container while keeping the insoluble substance in place with a stirring rod or spoon. Slowly pour off the liquid from the top while ensuring that the solid substance remains in the container. Be cautious not to disturb the solid at the bottom to prevent it from mixing with the liquid being poured off.

perhaps you drank some before you poured it in.


What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured from a small container into a large container?

The volume of an object is determined by the product of the surface area and the height of the object. Hence if the big container has a bigger height then the volume would certainly be greater. However, when talking about the volume of the liquid, it will be constant. This is because, although the height of the liquid will be reduced by putting it into a bigger container, the surface area is increased. Therefore, it will be constant. ! xx


What do you call the liquid obtained from decantation?

The liquid obtained from decantation is typically called the supernatant. It is the clear liquid that is poured off after the sediment has settled to the bottom of a container.


Why can't 10ml of liquid fill a 20ml container?
