Question

Gases and liquids will both expand to fill their container.
True
False

Answer 1

true right

Answer 2

i think it just liquid

Answer 3

not sure.. maybe ice.?

Answer 4

I am assuming when you say fill you mean the entire container as only gas or liquid in it and nothing else. If so then it is false. if you half way fill a cup with water you dont witness the water stretching up wards to fill the entire cup. where as with a gas it does. if you where to get a confine space and make it a vacuum and fill it half way with gas that gas with spread to every inch of the room where as a liquid would just take the shape of half the room.

I hope this was understand able and i am open for debate and clearifying my statement.

Answer 5

wat ur saying is yes its true

Answer 6

if i pour a liquid in a big flask...not necessary that it occupies alll the given space

Answer 7

It is false. Gas will expand to fill its container; liquid will not.

That is a different question than, "Will both gases and liquids assume the respective shapes of their containers?" The answer to this question would be yes. But liquids cannot *expand,* temperature and pressure being held constant.
