Fluid ounce is a unit of volume, so it must be measured in a container of known volume e.g. a measuring cup. Dry ounce is a measure of weight, so it must be measured using a balance or scale. However volumes of certain materials have known weights, for example, 1 gallon(a measure of volume) of water weighs 8.35 pounds(a measure of weight). So the weight of a known material can be determined if you know the volume of that material, and vice versa.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on what you are referring to by dry ounce. If you are referring to British Imperial ounces (volume), those are different than US fluid ounces (volume). If you are referring to weighing something in ounces. Then that is a unit of mass (16 ounces = 1 pound). If you weighed 1 fluid ounce (volume) of a substance, the weight (mass) of that substance depends on the density of the particular substance. This is one advantage of the metric system: there are no ambiguous names.

∙ 13y agoNo, they are not the same. Fluid ounces is a measure of volume. The other ounces are a measure of mass. One fluid ounce of Mercury is going to weigh a lot more than one ounce.

∙ 13y agoYes, a solid ounce is roughly equal to one ounce of water. But if you are talking about a fluid that is a lot more dense than water (or a lot less), this will not be true.

What is 2 kind of mixture?
solid/solid liquid/liquid both the same substances together
Why is it that when a solid dissolves in a liquid the mass of the solution that is made is the same as the mass of the solid added to the liquid?
this is because the amount of solute in the solution will have the same number of moles as that of the solid.
What happens when a solid a liquid and gas when it changes its state?
Well solid to liquid the heat speeds up the molecules and same for liquid to gas but from liquid to solid the coolant slows the molecules down
Which is the only planet where the same substance can exist in gaseous and liquid and solid form?
earth is the only planet where the same substance can exist in gaseous , liquid , and solid form
Do solids have the same color and shape?
what is it called when a solid and a liquid are the same colour
How many liquid oz of butter equals 12 oz solid butter?
It is the same.
What is the difference in mass between a solid and a liquid?
A solid and liquid have the same mass if the amount is the same.
What are the observable changes in freezing water?
liquid to solid

What is a liquid and solid at the same time called?
an Amorphis Solid

Is there anything that is both solid or liquid?
At the same time, no. Being solid and liquid at the same time would be like being hot and cold at the same time.
What happens when a solid a liquid and gas when it changes its state?
Well solid to liquid the heat speeds up the molecules and same for liquid to gas but from liquid to solid the coolant slows the molecules down
Is frosting a solid or a liquid?
It is in the liquid crystalline state of matter.
Are the melting and freezing of a substance the same?
Yes. A substance melts and freezes at the same temperature. Melting is as it changes from solid to liquid, freezing is from liquid to solid.
How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.
Does temperature have the same effect on the solubility of a gas in a liquid and solid in liquid?
yes it does
