By rotating the container of a free-running solid, the solid will "free run" and tumble while it is being poured out (transferred). This makes the transfer more easily accomplished. Many divided solids (sand or salt, for example) can become "sticky" or clump together due to moisture or other factors, and rotating a container while dumping them makes them "run out" more efficiently and smoothly.

To pour carefully so solid is left behind?

To pour carefully and slowly so that any solid particles settle at the bottom of the container and do not get mixed with the liquid being poured out. This technique is often used to avoid transferring the solids along with the liquid.


Why a solid does not fill the container completely?

possibly because the liquid didnt have enough volume to fill the container also because logicaly we dont really fill a container to the rim instead we get a container that is a little bigger.............just the way the human body works


Why you use clean paper in transferring solid chemical in a small mouthed container like test tube?

Using clean paper helps prevent contamination of the chemical sample being transferred. It also provides a controlled and precise method for transferring the solid chemical into the small-mouthed container without spillage or loss. Lastly, clean paper minimizes the risk of reaction between the chemical and any impurities that may be present on other surfaces.


Is a solid like a container?

Yes. More specifically, hail is a solid form of precipitation and is generally either balls or irregular lumps of ice.


Does a solid need a container to keep its shape?

liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container. Thank you.


How can you determine the volume of a regularly shaped solid?

Put solid in a container ; fill container with water to a known container volume; take object out of container and read the remaining volume. subtract this remaining volumefrom the known volume. This result is the volume of the regular or irregular shaped solid.


Does a solid take up a different amount of space when it is put into a different container?

No. A solid has a definite volume no matter what container it is placed in.


If you were to pour liquid slowly and carefully away from any solid remaining in a container you would be using a technique called?

This technique is called decanting. It involves carefully pouring off the liquid portion from a mixture while leaving the solid residue undisturbed at the bottom of the container. Decanting is commonly used in various processes such as separating wine from sediment or transferring clarified liquids in laboratory settings.


What molecule will not take shape of a container they are in?

A solid molecule, due to its fixed shape and volume, will not take the shape of its container. Liquids and gases, on the other hand, will conform to the shape of the container they are placed in.
