When finding the mass of air, you need to have a test tube and a stopper. Measure the mass of the test tube and the stopper together. Then, make sure that the air gets in the the tube and put the stopper on. Recheck the mass of the air, test tube, and stopper and subtract just the tube and stopper from the newly recorded mass to find the mass of air.

Propose a way to determine the density of air?

Get a vacuum chamber. Get all the air out of it, and weight it. This is the true weight of just the vacuum chamber. Fill it with air, and then weight it again. Subtract the new weight from the initial weight to get the mass of the air contained within the chamber. Find the volume of the chamber as well. density= mass/ voume. Hope it heelpss(:


How do you calculate weight in air when we know weight in water and water displaced?

To calculate weight in air when we know weight in water and water displaced, you can use the principle of buoyancy. First, subtract the weight in water from the true weight to find the buoyant force acting on the object. Then, divide the buoyant force by the acceleration due to gravity to get the volume of water displaced. Finally, use this volume to find the weight of the object in air by multiplying it by the density of water and acceleration due to gravity.


How do you calculate the weight of an object under water?

To calculate the weight of an object under water, you can use the equation: Weight (in water) = Weight (in air) - Buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. By subtracting the buoyant force from the weight in air, you can find the weight of the object in water.


Does air have weight?

Anything with mass has weight; air has mass, therefore it has weight.


How do you find the weight of air in a cylinder?

First of all you would find the volume of the cylinder. Then you would multiply that by the weight of air which is 1.2929 kg per cubic meter. Put the volume of the cylinder into meters, then multiply it by 1.2929. Then convert that into the unit you're looking for.

What gives air its weight?

Air has weight because it is made up of molecules that have mass. The weight of the air is due to the gravitational force pulling down on these molecules. The more air molecules present in a given volume, the greater the weight of the air.


The weight of air is called?

The weight of air is called atmospheric pressure. It is the force exerted by the weight of the air above a given point in the atmosphere.


What are the 3 properties of air?

The three properties of air are weight, mass, and density.


What is the weight of air on earth is called?

The weight of air on Earth is called atmospheric pressure. It is the force exerted by the weight of air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere on a surface.


How do you you find volume from weight?

Weight doesn't tell you the volume. One pound of air, one pound of water, and one pound of gold all have vastly different volumes.


What measures air masses?

With a simple balance you can find the weight (weight = mass in this case) of air. I propose the following method. Take the weight of the container (suppose it is a 1 litre container). And the weight is x kg. Take weight of the container full of water, say it is y kg. Weight of 1 litre of water is 1 kg. So the weight of the container is 'y -1' kg. So the weight of the air in it is 'x - y +1' kg. It should be around 1.2 gm.
