1) False - Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, not a definite shape. 2) True - Vapor pressure is measured when a liquid and its vapor are in physical equilibrium. 3) False - Boyle's law states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional, not directly proportional.
