The false statement is: 3. Because liquid water and liquid carbon tetrachloride do not mix, neither do their vapors

Explanation:

Gas is a state of matter, that has less density than liquids and solids. The gaseous particles have low intermolecular forces and thus they can move freely.

It is a very compressible fluid that has no fixed shape. Gas occupies the whole container in which it is stored, thus taking the shape of the container. Therefore, the volume of the gas is equal to the volume of the container.

Polar liquid like water (H₂O) and nonpolar liquid like carbon tetrachloride, are immiscible. However, in the gaseous state, their vapors form a homogeneous mixture.
