Does liquid volume change when you change containers?

Answer 1

No, changing containers will not change the liquid volume.

Answer 2

No, the volume of liquid remains the same when you change containers. The quantity of liquid does not change based on the shape or size of the container; only the way the liquid is distributed within the container is different.

Answer 3

Liquid is the state of matter that has a defined volume, but not a defined shape. As opposed to a solid which has defined shape and volume, or a gas which has neither a defined shape nor volume. So the short answer is yes, a liquid will keep its volume.

However, in the real world the volume of a liquid will vary as temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions change before transitioning to either a solid or gaseous state.

Answer 4

It does not change if you maintain constant pressure and temperature. Most liquids expand a small amount when heated or if the pressure is reduced.

So for example liquid at room temperature in a glass with an open top (no pressure changes) will occupy the same volume if you pour it into another container with a totally different shape because you didn't change the temperature (you didn't heat or cool it) and you didn't change the pressure (the pressure in the room is the same and these are open containers - not pressurized containers.

Answer 5

No.

Both the volume of a liquid and the mass of that liquid can change by increasing or decreasing the amount of molecules in said container. The density, which is mass divided by volume, stays the same.

If you have 20mL of water (which is a measure volume), that means you have 20g of water (which is a measure of mass). Therefore, the density of water is 1g/mL (which is a measure of density). 20mL of water has the same density as 200000mL of water.

Answer 6

Yes (liquids tend to expand a bit when heated up), but if you maintain the same amount of liquid, no matter what container, then the volume will not change.

Answer 7

no because molecules are constantly being lost to the gas state... usually

Answer 8

no. the volume a certain amount of liquid is constant.

Answer 9

Yes, when you heat it.

Answer 10

yes
