2 You have 500 cm of a liquid
and 500 cm3 of a gas. You
place the liquid and the gas
into separate litre bottles. Do
the liquid and the gas occupy
the same volume in the two
bottles? Explain your answer.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The gas will have more volume compared to the liquid.

Gases have no definite shape and no volume. They simply assume the shape of any container they are placed into. They will fill up the entirety of the bottle they are placed into.

Liquids have fixed volume although they do not have fixed shape. As they are held with weak intermolecular interactions, they are limited in space.

Therefore, they will maintain that initial volume at which they were introduced into the container.

  • Liquids generally have a fixed volume and gases do not.
