Given a 10 g sample of water in the form of ice, liquid, gas, we can observe how these phases behave. The volume for each of these samples would greatly differ given they have the same masses. For the solid, it will have a definite structure and would have smallest volume of the three phases since it is the most condensed structure of water. For liquid, it would have a volume that is larger than that of a solid but smaller than a gas. It is the intermediate phase between a gas and a solid. For the gas, it would be the one to occupy the largest volume since the molecules can freely travel and move around.
