What is the tendency of liquids to decreases their surface area to the smallest size possible?
The surface area of the liquid can decrease when there is increase in the temperature of the day,what is called evaporation is been taking place in the surface of the liquid,wchich decreases the liquid area.
What would you use to measure using a graduated cylinder?
You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.
How many inches in 150 gallons?
It is not possible to answer this question, because you are combining two unequal terms. Inches measures distances. 12 inches in a foot. Gallons measure the amount of liquids. There are so many gallons of water in a bath tub or in a swimming pool. It is not possible to say how many inches are in a gallon.

Why heating decrease amount of liquids?
Because the liquid evaporates.
What two liquids when mixed decrease in volume?
Alcohol and water.
What can happen when the energy of a liquids particles decrease?
Either and both liquifaction &/or freezing.
Contraction in liquids?
Contraction in liquids refers to the decrease in volume of a liquid as it cools and turns into a solid. This process is known as solidification or freezing. As the liquid cools, the molecules lose energy and move closer together, causing the volume to decrease.
Why do liquids have a tendency to acquire minimum surface area?
The molecules in a liquid (such as water) are attracted to each other by electrostatic force. As a result, they stick together, not to the extent that a solid does, but to some extent, and this causes them to contract into compact shapes when possible.
Will cooling a solution of salt crystals and water slow down the dissolving rate?
Yes; the solubility of solids in liquids decrease when the temperature decrease.
