Does liquid have unfixed shape?

No, liquids do not have a fixed shape. They take the shape of the container they are in.


How do you transfer liquids from other container to another container?

To transfer liquids from one container to another, you can use a funnel to prevent spills. Simply place the funnel in the opening of the receiving container and pour the liquid slowly and steadily from the original container. Make sure both containers are stable and on a level surface for easy and mess-free transfer.


What are the two liquids that show upper meniscus?

Mercury and water are two liquids that show an upper meniscus when measured in a graduated cylinder or other narrow container. This means that the liquid forms a concave shape at the surface where it meets the container's walls.


does juice have a definite shape and volume?

Liquids. ... In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume. However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.


What can you do with a liquid that you cannot do with a solid?

With a liquid, you can easily change its shape to fill the container it occupies, allowing it to take on various forms. Liquids can flow and move freely, enabling them to mix with other liquids or substances, which is not possible with solids. Additionally, liquids can exert pressure in all directions, a characteristic that is not applicable to solids in the same way.

Is honey considered a liquid?

Yes, honey is considered a liquid because it flows and takes the shape of its container like other liquids.


Do liquids keep their shape?

Okay... Whoever wrote this was really stupid. One of the main characteristics of liquid is that it takes the shape of the bottom of it's container. So no, a liquid does not keep it's own shape. If it did, then it would be a solid.


What states of matter can flow into a container?

How do liquids take shape of the container they are poured into?

The different layers are formed because the two liquids are not compatible, or do not mix well. The order of the layers is always from the densest liquid on the bottom to the least dense liquid on top. For example, oil and water, water is denser so it sinks to the bottom and the oil floats. Liquids may form layers whether or not they are of equal volume.


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.


Why can liquids flow from place to place?

Liquids can flow from place to place because liquids have no definite shape. Instead, a liquid takes the shape of its container. Without a container, liquid spreads into a wide shallow puddle.


What are the benefits of immersion heaters?

Immersion heaters allow you to heat liquids directly. This is more efficient than heating the object that holds the liquid, because the heat must heat the container, then the container must heat the liquid. Other heaters cannot do this because they cannot be submerged into liquids.

What State Of Matter Takes The Shape Of It's Container?

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..


What are 3 physical properties of a liquid?

The basic properties of any liquid are that it has a definite volume, it conforms to the shape of its container, it is not compressible and its elements and molecules are not in fixed positions. 1. They take the shape of the container they are put in. 2. They usually wet surfaces apart from metallic liquids like mercury. 3. When heated they boil off to form gas(boiling point). 4. When cooled they take the solid form (freezing point). 5) smell 6) colour
