This is confusing because of the word "cant" and then "cm squared". Why would you tell someone a wrong unit?

What do you mean "volume may change, but the measurement of them won't?" If the volume changes, the measurement definitely will. On the other hand, one can have a fixed volume but express it in different units such as CUBIC centimeters or CUBIC millimeters. In that case, the numerical part of the measurement expression will change, but the meaning of the measurement won't.

3.000 liters = 3000 cubic centimeters = 3 000 000 cubic millimeters - all the same volume but different expressions

A proper measurement must have both a number AND a unit.

How are measurements of volume for solids and liquids alike?

Measurements of volume for both solids and liquids involve determining the amount of space that the substance occupies. This is typically done using measuring tools such as a graduated cylinder for liquids and a ruler or geometric formulas for solids. The volume of a solid or liquid is usually expressed in cubic units such as cubic centimeters or milliliters.


What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?

What propertys do solids and liquids not share?

Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Liquids can flow and take the shape of the container they are in, unlike solids which have a fixed shape.


Which of the following has a fixed volume?

Do solids liquids and gases have a definite volume?

Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'


Which phases of matter have definite volume?

Does solids have a volume shape and?

Yes. Solids have shapes and volume. Liquids take they're own shape and gas spreads.


What states of matter have definite volume?

Solids and liquids are two states of matter that occupy a definite volume. The molecules in them are bonded by strong intermolecular forces which do not allow them to be compressed to a very large extent.


When you use a graduated cylinder in the lab you can only use it to find the volume of liquids?

A graduated cylinder is primarily designed for measuring the volume of liquids due to its precise scale and markings. However, it can also be used to measure irregularly shaped solids through the water displacement method, where the solid is submerged in a known volume of liquid, and the increase in liquid level indicates the volume of the solid. Therefore, while its main purpose is for liquids, it can also aid in volume measurements for solids under specific conditions.


Why are solids USUALLY more dense liquids and gases?

Solids are usually more dense because solids have a smaller volume than liquids or gases, so the same amount of mass is in a smaller volume, making the density greater.
