Using Archimedes principle we can find the density of such object. First let's weigh the body hanging in air using a physical balance. Let it be w1
Now immerse it in water kept in a beaker and weigh once again. Let it be w2.
Now using the expression density can be found.
Density = w1/ (w1 - w2)

∙ 12y ago1)weigh a quantity of substance
2) add substance to a graduated cylinder containing a known quantity volume of water - swirl to remove air bubbles or let stand for a while
3) Note the new volume and then calculate the volume change which is the volume of the substance
Density = weight( substance) divided by volume( substance)

How do you determine the density of 10 grams of granular zinc?
Density is the ratio mass/volume. For a granular material you need a helium pycnometer.Or - more simple, if it is possible - a graduate cylinder for the measure of the volume by the displacement of water.
What is density insoluble?
the measure of the relationships between the volume and a mass of substance, is defined by mass and divided by volume
How can you determine the density of a substance?
Use the formula density = mass divided by volume.
How do you get the relative density of a substance?
Weigh it to determine the mass, then determine how much volume it displaces (in something it does not dissolve in). Divide mass by volume, you've got density.
What is the density of granular fertilizer?
It depends on the type and composition of the fertilizer.

Why do precipitates form so quickly?
Precipitates form quickly because when an insoluble substance is introduced into a solution, the insoluble soulution's density is to be greater.
How do you determine the identity of an unknown substance by observing its mass and volume?
All you can do with mass and volume is to determine the density of the substance. density = mass / volume or p=m/v after you determine the density, you can look on any density table and find the substance you are looking for. good look. -julio
What substances are insoluble?
If an object/substance has high density, it is most likely insoluble. Insoluble substances are incapable of dissolving in water. This is true for alluminum, copper, gold, silver, iron, tin, platinum, etc. Most metals are insoluble. Strong objects are insoluble because they remain sturdy. Insoluble substances are often edible because they can dissolve on your tongue.
Why do scientist measure mass and volume?
So they can determine the density of a substance. Density = mass/volume. Density can be used to identify a substance.
If Using density how dowe determine if a substance is pure or not?
If a substance is not pure, the density may, or may not, change, compared to the pure substance.
What does the density of a substance determine?
It determines the mass of the substance per unit volume.
What does a density of a substance determine?
It determines the mass of the substance per unit volume.
What is density insoluble?
the measure of the relationships between the volume and a mass of substance, is defined by mass and divided by volume
How can you determine the density of a substance?
Use the formula density = mass divided by volume.
How could density be used to determine the mass of particular volume of a substance?
In a set volume of any substance increasing the density increases its mass
How would you determine the density of 10 grams of granular zinc?
using water displacement because it doesnt float on water and it doesnt dissolve in water
