simplest question in world in chem.???

Question

When the liquids acquires the shape of the container .....
why their volume is less than that of the container...??

give a good answer..all the best...im able to understand all terms...

thanx

Answer 1

REASON IS ALWAYS SURFACE TENSION


adhesive and cohesive forces exist..........

LESS THAN 90---------VOLUME LESS(WATER)
MORE THAN 90 -------volume more (MERCURY)

=============================

Answer 2

ur question is a bit confusing as it has two meanings about the volume of the container is it the inner volume ie capacity or the whole volume. If it is the whole volume then the answer is simple because the volume of material of the container will also be included the volume of container is more.
But if its the first case then its the adhesive force b/w the container and water which exists and when the water is taken out then the adhesive forces are gone and only cohersive forces exist which decrease the volume of water

Answer 3

The molecules of liquids are arranged less tightly than those of solids but more closely than those of gases. In other words, the molecules in a liquid are arranged tighter and more orderly than in a gas, but less orderly than in a solid.

For example, a liter of liquid will not expand to fill a two-liter container, but a liter of gas will. So, the reason is actually the manner in which the molecules are arranged.

Answer 4

Because of surface tension AND not all fluids have a volume less than that of the container.

Those having an acute contact angle occupy less volume

90 degrees -> same

Obtuse -> more (Mercury)

Answer 5

you choose the concentration of the commencing HNO3 first. in case you assume 1L of answer, which will weigh 1389 g. Of that 1389, 875 g is HNO3. As MW HNO3 is sixty 3, it somewhat is 13.9 moles, so the answer is 13.9 M. Use M1V1 = M2V2 to discover the quantity mandatory to make up the greater dilute answer. V1 = M2V2/M1 = (0.3 hundred M) (1500 ml) / 13.9 M = 32.4 ml
