Question

four students are analyzing four different substances and recording their findings in this table. properties of substances leonnas substance xiaos substance blakes substance amars substance which most describes this table? leonna has a solid, xiao and blake have liquids, and amir has a gas. leonna and amir have gasses, xiao has a liquid, and blake has a solid. leonna has a solid, xiao has a liquid, blake has a gas, and amir made a mistake. leonna has a solid, xiao has a liquid, blake made a mistake, and amir has a gas.

Explanation:

• Solids have definite shape and definite volume. So Leonna's substance is a solid.
• Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape. So Xiao's substance is a liquid.
• Gases have no definite shape and no definite volume. Blake's substance is marked as having a definite shape but no definite volume. This is a mistake because a substance cannot have a definite shape without having a definite volume (solids have both, liquids have definite volume but no definite shape, gases have neither).
• Amar's substance has no definite shape and no definite volume, so it is a gas.

Answer:

Leonna has a solid, Xiao has a liquid, Blake made a mistake, and Amir has a gas.
