Question

a) bunsen burner

b) water (in beaker)

c) water (in syringe)

d) air (in balloon)

1. does each substance take up space ?

2. could each each state of matter be compressed. explain.

3. when you release air from a balloon what happens, what happens? explanation for observation ?

Answer 1

All mass takes up space, unless you want to go into theoretical physic.

Yes, tech all matter can be compress and expand.  Solid would be harder to change the shape, since the molecular setup (or the stuff inside it) are closer together.  Liquid and gas are easier since the particles inside it are farther apart (and hence more free space to compress).  Another way it can expand or compress is through temperature changes, or thermal expansion. But base on the question, I don't think you guys go this deep

The air lost its shape and escape into the atmosphere.  Air is shapeless, it assume the shape of its container. Once you let it out, it loses the shape.  aLSO, air wants to escape, all particles wants to be free (not confine in balloon), so the moment you open a hole, it wants to escape (because it can)

Hope it helps
