Question

11 multiple choice
what factor determines the state of matter of a substance?
how much mass the substance has
the container the substance is in
temperature
how much volume the substance has

Explanation:

The state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) of a substance is mainly determined by temperature and pressure. Among the given options, temperature is relevant as changes in temperature can cause phase - transitions (e.g., melting from solid to liquid, boiling from liquid to gas). Mass and volume do not directly determine the state, and the container only affects the shape or volume of the substance in some cases but not its state.

Answer:

C. Temperature
