State of Matter Review

Antoine has water in a closed jar, where the water takes up the whole jar. He moves the water to a larger jar, and the water takes the shape of the new jar and fills it completely. Which of the following is the state of the water?

• Ice

• Cold liquid water

• Steam

• Hot liquid water

Matter is inside a closed box. While inside the box, the matter is box-shaped as well. The matter is then moved to a larger box. When moved to the larger box, the matter did not change its shape or size. In which state could the matter be?

• Liquid, only

• Solid, only

• Liquid or solid

• Gas, only

 Matter X, Y, and Z are all in round balloons and are all round-shaped like the balloons. When matter X is put into a box, its shape stays the same, and it is still round. When matter Y is moved from its round balloon to a box, it escapes and takes the shape of the room. Matter Y cannot be placed back into the box. When matter Z is placed into the box, it takes the shape of the box, but it stays in the box.
