The mass of any substance measures the amount of 'stuff', and is usually determined by weighing it. The units are often kilograms. The volume is the space it takes up. Volume is measured in units such as metres cubed or litres.

The mass of a liquid will be related to the volume via the density.

Mass = [volume] x [density]

You can change the volume without changing the mass by changing the temperature of the liquid; liquids generally become more dense as they get colder and less dense as they get warmer.

A liquid's mass, m , is the amount of matter present and depends upon the volume and density of the liquid.
Mass units include kg , g , mg, lbm, and slugs. The volume of a liquid is the amount of space the liquid occupies
for a given mass and temperature. Volume units include : m^3 , L , mL , gal , and cu ft . The mass and volume are related by the density, d :

d = m / V

The density of a liquid depends upon identity of the liquid and temperature of the liquid.

Liquids have a definite volume and?

Mass


Which have definite mass and volume but no definite shape?

Liquids have a definite mass and volume, but not a shape.


Do liquids have less mass than other gases?

No. First of all, liquids are not gasses. Liquids and gasses are two different states of matter. Second, you can have any mass of liquid or any mass of gas. Third, liquids are denser than gasses, meaning they have more mass for a given unit of volume.


If liquids have different densities than why is a cup always 8 fluid ounces?

density is a ratio of volume vs. mass, fluid ounces are a measurment of volume only... no mass involved.


How is the density different from mass and volume?

Mass is the amount of matter, volume is the amount of space, and density uses both, it is mass / volume.


What is the density gcm3?

Density = mass / volume. These can be many different units, but in the metric (SI) system for liquids and solids mass is usually measured in grams and volume in cubic centimeters, so density becomes grams / cm3.


What technique is used to find Density of liquids?

Find the mass of a known volume of the liquid and use the formula mass/volume to find the density.


The order of densities of the liquids and solids in the cylinder?

density=mass/volume The density depends upon the mass and volume of the cylinder.


What proportions do liquids and soilds share?

Liquids and soilds share properties that are Definte mass and volume and that they can be transformed into eachother :)


Does every liquid weights the same?

The vast majority of liquids have different densities. The weight of a liquid depends on the force of gravity and the mass of the liquid. The mass of a liquid depends on the volume of liquid and the density of liquid. Therefore, the vast majority of liquids have different masses, densities and corresponding weights.


Explain what will happen to the mass volume and density of a liquid as the temperature increases?

If density = mass/volume, and your volume increases while mass remains the same... Then the denominator increases which would decrease the density
