Does water keep its volume

In general, yes, but lots of things may cause its volume to change. The volume will change if temperature or pressure change, or if something dissolves in the water. Volume may also decrease by evaporation.

When 3g of sugar is dissolved in liter of water what happens to the volume of water?

Nothing. The main concept of dissolving something is that it does NOT add to the volume of the liquid. You can just keep chucking the sugar into the water and the volume will not change (the weight WILL!). ...At least not until you have added over 91g, then no more will dissolve at all. If you keep adding sugar, it will float about and collect at the bottom and the volume will increase with every grain added. It's 91g because Glucose (I assume this is the sugar you refer to) has a water solubility of 91g per litre.


Does water keep its shape and volume?

Even though a liquid can change shape to fit in to a square, circular, rectagular or evenÊaÊflatÊcontainer, Liquid still retains its volume. Liquids always have a definate volume but they can always change shape.


How could you figure out the volume of a rock that has broken and chipped edges?

Drop it in water. Fill a graduated cyllinder with water to cover the sample and record the volume. Then gently lower the rock sample into the water and record how much the water rose. The difference is the volume of the rock. Drop it in water. Fill a graduated cyllinder with water to cover the sample and record the volume.

How can you measure volume using displacement?

The volume of an object can be determined by the displacement of water. By dropping the object into a measuring container of water, where the volume of the water is known, the object's volume can then be calculated by subtracting the volume of the water by the volume of the water and object combined.


How do you measure volume In Water displacement?

To measure volume using water displacement, you fill a graduated cylinder with a specific volume of water, note the initial volume, then submerge the object in the water. The increase in water level is the volume of the object. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to get the volume of the object.


Is it true that the Japanese put sharks in fish tanks to keep the fish fresh?

No, any additional animal put into a confined volume of water will increase ammonia levels and will therefore not keep water 'fresh'.


How is the volume o f the water displaced by the granite block compare to the volume of the granite block?

Does water with a greater volume cool faster than water with a less volume?

No, water with a greater volume will cool slower than water with a lower volume because it takes more energy to heat or cool a larger volume of water. The larger volume of water will retain heat longer than the smaller volume.


How do you work out the volume of displaced water from an anchor that lies on the bottom of the ocean?

To calculate the volume of water displaced by an anchor on the ocean floor, you can use Archimedes' principle. The volume of water displaced will be equal to the volume of the anchor that is submerged underwater. By knowing the density of water and the weight of the anchor, you can calculate the volume of water displaced.
