You can use the density of the object.

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. Density = mass / volume. Rearrange it to solve for mass. Mass = density x volume.

You can find the density of the substance from a table of densities.

Or depending on what you know about the substance:-

moles = volume (dm3) x concentration (moldm-3)

moles = mass/Mr

Mr = molecular weight

100cm3 = 0.1dm3

If you know the volume, concentration and the Mr then mass can be solved by calculating the moles of the substance and multiplying by Mr.

mass (m) = volume/ density or v/P

"P" is the Greek letter "rho" and it is the symbol for density in Physics and Chemistry.

Both are found by direct measurement. Place the amount you have or want to know about into a measuring container of some sort to find its volume. Measure its mass on a set of scales.

Your weight is your mass x gravity.

So, on earth, g = approx 10. So divide mass (in kg) by 10 to get weight (in newtons)

How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?

You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.

What is the relationship between the volume of a liquid and its mass?

The mass of a liquid and the volume of it are not related, they have no bearing on one another. The mass and volume can change independently, in theory. They are related by the equation to calculate density. Density=Mass/Volume


How do you calculate mass and volume to get density?

You MEASURE mass with a balance. You MEASURE volume (if liquid) with a graduated cylinder. Then take these and divide. density = mass divided by volume.


How do you find the density of liquid?

Problem: You are given two unknown liquids. Find the density of each. Materials: 100ml graduated cylinder, triple beam balance, calculator, 2 unknown liquids. Procedure: 1) Find the mass of the empty graduated cylinder. 2) Pour unknown liquid #1 into the graduated cylinder to the 50 ml. level. 3) Find the mass of the graduated cylinder with 50ml of unknown liquid #1. 4) Repeat steps 1-3 for unknown liquid #2. We can calculate density of a liquid using the formula: Density= Mass/Volume where mass is that for just the liquid (you must subtract out the mass of the graduated cylinder). Now let's calculate the densities of the two liquids using the following given data. Liquid #1: Given: Mass of empty graduated cylinder = 78 grams Mass of graduated cylinder with unknown liquid #1= 128 grams. Find: a) Mass of just the liquid = ____ b) Volume of liquid=_____ c) Density of liquid #1 =____ Liquid #2: Given: Mass of empty graduated cylinder = 78 grams Mass of graduated cylinder with unknown liquid #2= 117.5 grams. Find: a) Mass of just the liquid = ____ b) Volume of liquid =_____ c) Density of liquid #2=____ Check your answers by inserting the value in the box below.

If an insufficient amount of a liquid unknown had been used how would this affect the value of the experimental molar mass?

When the unknown liquid is heated and turned into vapor, the unknown will not occupy the whole container. In the equation to find the molar mass (nRT)/PV, the volume will be greater than the actually volume of the unknown, thus leaving a molar mass that is less than the actual molar mass


How does one obtain the mass of a liquid such as water?

D = M/V density = mass/volume to solve for one unknown, you need two knowns...so if you know the density and volume, you can calculate weight. the density of water is 1ish, so in that case the weight would be equal to the volume.


How is the volume of a liquid calculated?

If you know the density and mass of the liquid, you can calculate the volume by dividing the mass by the density. density = mass/volume volume = mass/density mass = density X volume


A graduated cylinder with mass of 105.56g has 45.5ml of a certain liquid added to it. The mass of the cylinder and the liquid is 142.01g. What is the density of this liquid.?

Mass of unknown liquid = 142.01 g - 105.56 g = 36.45 gVolume of unknown liquid = 45.5 mldensity = mass/volume = 36.45 g/45.5 mldensity = 0.801 g/ml
