Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Problem

We need to determine which phase (gas, liquid, or solid) of a substance has the greatest and least mass for a given volume (1 L).

Step 2: Analyzing the Phases
  • Gas Phase: Gases have the lowest density among the three phases. Therefore, for a given volume, the mass of the gas phase will be the least.
  • Liquid Phase: Liquids have a higher density than gases but generally lower than solids. Thus, the mass of the liquid phase will be intermediate.
  • Solid Phase: Solids have the highest density among the three phases. Therefore, for a given volume, the mass of the solid phase will be the greatest.
Step 3: Conclusion

Based on the densities of the different phases, we can conclude:

  • The solid phase has the greatest mass.
  • The gas phase has the least mass.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{Greatest mass: Solid phase}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Least mass: Gas phase}} \]
