Always, sometimes or never

The Capacity of a container will ALWAYS be less than the containers Volume

Answer 1

The correct option is Sometimes.

Explanation:

Volume refers to the amount of three-D space that a liquid, a solid or a gas, occupies. Some of the most commonly used units of volume are cubic meters, liters, millilitres and cubic centimetres.

Whereas, capacity refers to the capability to hold or absorb something. It is similar in theory to volume, but there are little dissimilarities.

Consider the example below:

• The nitrogen gas cistern has a capacity of 12 gallons.
• The gas in the experiment expanded to three times its original volume.

So, the capacity of a container can be or cannot be less than the volume.

Thus, the correct option is Sometimes.
