Best Answer

Gases that are relatively insoluble in water are collected by water displacement. The gas pushes the water down and out of the water-filled gas-collecting vessel. The gas-collecting vessel (generally a flask or test tube) is first filled with water, covered with a glass plate or plastic wrap (no air bubbles must enter the vessel, and then inverted into a deep pan or tray half-filled with water. The glass plate or plastic wrap is removed, and the tubing from the gas generator is inserted into the mouth of the gas-collecting vessel.

How do I find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder?

To determine the volume of an irregular object using graduated cylinders, you fill a graduated cylinder with water right to the top, then submerge the object in the water. Measure the water that overflows using a second graduated cylinder, and read the water level in it in cc's or cubic inches. That is the object's volume.

Calculate the density of water using a graduated cylinder?

not quite. you can measure volume in a graduated cylinder. you can use a scale, water, and a graduated cylinder to find out the density of an object by filling the graduated cylinder to an easily calculated point (250) then dropping your object in the water making sure none splashes out then measure the difference, then weigh it and divide the mass by volume to get density.
