What will spread out to fill a large container?
The molecules in gases are really spread out, full of energy, and constantly moving around in random ways. Gases can fill a container of any size or shape. It doesn’t matter how big the container is. The molecules spread out to fill the whole space equally.
Which type of matter will spread out if you put it in a container?
Gas. The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape.
Does liquid spread out to fill its container?
Like the particles of a solid, particles in a liquid are subject to intermolecular attraction; however, liquid particles have more space between them, so they are not fixed in position. Liquids will flow and fill the lowest portion of a container, taking on the shape of the container but not changing in volume.
Do small amounts of gases fill large containers?
The size of a gas particle is negligible as compares to the volume of the container in which the gas is placed. Gases are mostly empty space, and this is evident because gases can be easily compressed. Gases expand to completely fill a container; they would not if they were attracted to each other.
Which states of matter takes the shape of the container they are placed in?
Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container.
Which matter can be squeezed?
Gases
Gases and plasmas are compressible. You can squeeze them and make them smaller. Solids and liquids are not compressible. Applying pressure may cause them to change their shape, but not their size.
Can gases fill container?
How quickly does gas spread?
Gas particles move very quickly (air particles move at 500 m/s on average at room temperature). However, a smell does not travel this fast.
Why do gas particles spread out to fill a container evenly?
Gas particles spread out to fill a container evenly, unlike solids and liquids. (Image credit: Arisa J | Shutterstock ) Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume. Gases have lower density than other states of matter, such as solids and liquids.
How does the shape of the container affect the color spread?
Particles move faster in warmer water, so the red coloring spread more quickly through the cup. The narrow shape of the containers used in the second experiment slowed down diffusion because of the container’s effect on Brownian motion (the mechanism behind diffusion).
What is the best way to test diffusion between two containers?
Procedure: Differently Shaped Containers 1 Fill both containers with the same temperature of water. 2 Drop one drop of food coloring in each of container and compare their rate of diffusion. More
Can we pour liquid water from one container into another?
We can pour liquid water from one container into another. Liquid water takes on the shape of its container. If you have a glass of water and pour it into another glass, it clearly conforms – it takes on the shape of the glass. If you spill the water, it will go everywhere.
