Why does a liquid take the shape of its container but does not expand to fill its volume?
bc a liquid has fixed molecules, and cannot expand unless changed to a different state of matter. When changed to a gas, this liquid's molecules move much faster and can expand to take more room. When changed to a solid (frozen) the mass expands by a little bit, and the molecules slow down.
What container appeared to have the least volume of liquid?
The container that appeared to have the least volume of liquid was Container B.
What states of matter takes the shape of its container?
A gas is a state of matter that takes the shape of its container. Gas particles are free to move around and fill the space available to them, allowing the gas to expand or be compressed to fit the container's shape.
What does it mean when a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape?
It means that the liquid takes the shape of its container, but its volume remains constant. This property is characteristic of liquids, where the particles are able to flow and move easily but do not expand to fill the entire space of the container.
How is measuring the the mass of a solid different from measuring the mass of a liquid?
Measuring the mass of a solid involves using a balance or scale to directly weigh the object. The mass of a solid remains constant regardless of its shape or volume. Measuring the mass of a liquid involves using a container to hold the liquid and then weighing the container with the liquid inside. The mass of a liquid can vary based on its volume and the container it is held in due to the fluidity and ability to change shape.
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.
Why doesn't liquid expand to fill a container completely?
There are relatively strong forces between the particles (atoms or molecules), that keep them together.
Why can a liquid expand to take the shape of its container but not expand to fill the container?
It doesn't expand to take the shape of its container, but it flows because the particles can slide past each other, and the bonds are loose, and not completely broken, whereas in gases, the bonds between particles have been broken down, and so they can move apart and fill the container.
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.
What describes the properties of a liquid?
it completely fills its container, takes the shape of its container
Does liquid takes up a definite amount of space?
Yes, a liquid does take up a definite amount of space, which is to say that it has a definite volume. A liquid takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill it completely like a gas would.
List properties of a liquid?
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
What is the difference of gas and liquid compressed?
Gas is compressible and will expand to fill any container it is put in. Liquid is not compressible and will maintain a fixed volume regardless of the container it is in.
Why not measure amounts of liquid when hot?
Heat = expansion. The water molecules expand when heated. The container will expand, and then the measurment will be off?
Do liquid and gas take up the same space as the container?
Gases will expand or contract to the volume of the container they are in, so gases do. However, liquids have fixed volumes, so they do not. In other words, a liter of water will remain a liter of water whether it is in a bucket or a swimming pool. However, the same quantity of gas may have different volumes depending on the container.
Matter phase in which a substance will take on the shape of its container but not expand to fill the containe?
liquid phase
What causes a liquid to bend and take the shape of its container but not fill it completely?
In a liquid, you have atoms or molecules which are bonded to each other to a sufficient degree that they stay close to each other, so they do not just expand as a gas would, to fill a container, but they are not bonded so strongly as to become a solid, so their relative positions can freely shift, resulting in a shapeless substance that takes the shape of its container.
