Question

When placed in a 200-mL square box, a substance has a spherical shape and has a volume of 75 mL. When placed in a 200-mL circular tube, the same amount of that same substance has a spherical shape and a 75-mL volume. In which of the following states is the substance?a. solid
b. liquid
c. gas​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Solid

Explanation:

Solid substances do not change size or shape according to their containers. In other words, solid substances keep their size and shape.

Liquid and gas substances take the shape of their container, so any of them would be square-shaped when put in a square box, and they would be spherical shaped when put in a spherical container.
