michael has a substance that he puts in container 1. the substance has a volume of 5 cubic meters. he then puts the substance in container 2, and it now has a volume of 10 cubic meters. in which phase(s) is the substance?\n○ solid or liquid\n○ liquid or gas\n○ liquid\n○ gas

Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the phase, we analyze the volume change:

  • Solids have a definite volume and shape, so their volume doesn't change with the container.
  • Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of the container, so their volume also doesn't change with the container.
  • Gases have neither a definite volume nor shape; they expand to fill the container, so their volume changes with the container.

Here, the substance's volume changes from 5 to 10 cubic meters when moved to a different container, indicating it expands to fill the container, characteristic of a gas.

Answer:

D. gas
