Question
When a gas jar full of air is placed upside down on a gas jar full of bromine vapours, the red-brown vapours of bromine from the lower jar go upward into the jar containing air. In this experiment :
Options
air is heavier than bromine
both air and bromine have the same density
bromine is heavier than air
bromine cannot be heavier than air because it is going upwards against gravity

A student placed a gas jar containing air in the upside down position over a gas jar full of red-brown bromine vapours. He observed that the red-brown colour spread upwards into the jar containing air. Based on this observation, the student concluded that it is only the bromine vapour which moves up and diffuses into air in the upper jar, the air from the upper jar does not move down by diffusion into the lower jar containing bromine vapours. Do you agree with this conclusion of the student? Give reason for your answer.
A substance has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume. State whether it is a solid, a liquid or a gas.
