OpenStudy (rushwr):

I think it should be inorganic chemist.

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

when placed in a 100 ML square box a substance takes the shape of the box and has a volume of 100 ML. When placed in a 50 ML circular tube, that same substance takes the shape of the tube and has a 50 ML volume. In which of the following states is the substance in A)liquid B)Solid C) gas

OpenStudy (rushwr):

What's ur answer ?

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

@Shalante

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

I think that it is a liquid

OpenStudy (rushwr):

Why?

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

because liquid can take the shape of each of the shape I think

OpenStudy (rushwr):

But as u can see the particular substance has taken the volume of the container right? We know liquids doesn't have a particular shape it takes the shape of the container but it does have a volume. Gases are the ones who doesn't have either a definite volume or a shape.

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

So the solid could take the shape of the container

OpenStudy (rushwr):

summary Solids : Have a definite shape and a volume Liquids : Have a definite volume but no definite shape, it takes the shape of the container. Gases : Gases don't have a definite shape or a volume. They take the shape and the volume of the container.

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

so it is a solid?

OpenStudy (rushwr):

NOOOOO Look it says when u put the particular substance inside a 100mL box it has a volume of 100mL and it takes the shape of the container. And when it is put to a 50mL container it takes 50mL and the shape of the container. As u can see it has no definite shape or a volume The substances that has no definite volume and a shape is gases

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

so it is a gas because it can change shapes?

OpenStudy (rushwr):

both gases and liquids can change their shapes according to the container they are in. Out of those 2 only gases can change their volume. Liquids have particular volume !!!

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

the next question is Which of the following terms describe carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) A)element B)pure substance C)compound D) mixture
