Question Question 3
Each of the three states of matter has mass. Explain with the help of simple experiments that each state of matter has mass.
Solids
Procedure — A solid placed on the scale, causes the scale to tilt towards one side.
Conclusion — The scale tilts due to the mass of the solid, hence all solids have mass.
Liquids
Procedure — A liquid placed on the scale, causes the scale to tilt towards one side.
Conclusion — The scale tilts due to mass of the liquid, hence all liquids have mass.
Gases
Procedure — A balloon placed on the scale, causes the scale to tilt towards one side.
Conclusion — The scale tilts due to mass of the gas, hence all gases have mass.
