Why a can container of liquid be half filled but a container of gas is always completely filled?
No, it is not. Briefly there are three (common) states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Solid materials are just that -- solid. Liquid matter conforms to the sides and bottom of the container that it occupies, like a glass of water, which canbe half full. Gases, however, will "spread out" to all sides of the container they occupy. Using your example, the balloon cannot be half full because the gas will quickly conform to all of the sides of the container. A gas, therefore, will occupy a container that is technically always full.

How do you determine the density of each 50 mL liquid container?
To determine the density of each 50 mL liquid container, you would first weigh the empty container. Next, fill the container with the liquid and weigh it again. The difference in weight between the filled and empty container can be used to calculate the density by dividing the weight of the liquid by the volume of the container.
Why does a liquid expand to fill the container completely?
A liquid expands to fill the container completely because the particles in the liquid are in constant motion and have enough kinetic energy to overcome the forces of attraction between them. This allows the liquid to flow and spread out evenly to occupy all available space within the container.
How does a gas differ from a liquid with respect to the ability to conform to the shape of its container?
A gas will fill it's container freely, and evenly space itself throughout the container. Imagine an aerosol can of disinfectant sprayed into a room at one corner. The gas will eventually spread itself across the room evenly.
What instrument measures the pressure in an enclosed container of gas?
A manometer is used to measure pressure in an enclosed container of gas. It typically consists of a U-shaped tube filled with liquid that reacts to changes in pressure inside the container. The liquid level in the arm of the manometer connected to the container will rise or fall based on the pressure, providing a measurement of the gas pressure.
Does liquid have unfixed shape?
No, liquids do not have a fixed shape. They take the shape of the container they are in.
A container of this substance is always completely full?
A container of liquid is always completely full, as the liquid takes the shape of the container and fills all available space.
Why can a container of liquid be half-filled but a container of gas is always fully filled?
A container of gas is always full because a gas will always take up the amout of space it is given. Just imagine a bunch of floating molecules in a container whose motion is random and bouncing all over the place. Unlike, a liquid who always has a definite amount of volume will only take up the amount of space it can.
What empties as it fills?
A pitcher, or other container filled with liquid.
What describes the properties of a liquid?
it completely fills its container, takes the shape of its container
List properties of a liquid?
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
Does a liquid keep its shape in a container?
Liquids always take the shape of the container that they are in. This is the basic definition of a liquid.
Which state of matter will fill a container completely?
All four states of matter could fill a container completely if there was enough of them.That said the properties of the 3 states of matter (that you need to know about for high/secondary school) are:Solid - Fixed shape and fixed volume.Liquid - No fixed shape but fixed volume.Gas - No fixed shape, no fixed volume and fill the space available.A large enough volume of liquid or solid could fill a container completely but only the smallest amount of a gas will fill the whole container.
If a container is half filled with a liquid and sealed at room temperature and atmospheric pressure then what happens inside the container?
Inside the container, the liquid would partially evaporate, creating vapor in the empty space above the liquid. Eventually, an equilibrium will be reached where the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation, resulting in a constant vapor-liquid mixture within the container.
Do liquids always fill their container?
Gravity. The gravitational pull of the Earth will exert a force on anything with a mass and pull it towards the centre of the Earth. As we're essentially standing on the surface of a sphere, the centre of the Earth is pretty much straight down and gravity will pull liquids to the bottom of any container.
Which phase always fills its container?
when a substance is in liquid phase
Can liquid change into a different shapes?
No, as the liquid state of matter always takes the form of the container it is in.
Can liquids fill any container?
Yes, liquids can fill containers as long as the container can hold the volume of the liquid. The shape and size of the container will determine how the liquid fills it. Liquids will take the shape of the container they are poured into.
