Why is it necessary to know the mass of the graduated cylinder in an order to find the mass of the liquid?
You would obtain the mass of the liquid while it was in the measuring cylinder and then, from the combined mass, you would subtract the mass of the cylinder to obtain the mass of the liquid.
How do scientist describe matter?
Matter is considered to be anything that takes up mass. Different phases of matter are traditionally solid, liquid, and gas.
What is the difference between the methods of finding density of liquid than finding the density of solid?
A solid has air gaps. Density is mass per volume. Volume of the known mass of solid is determined by displacement of liquid in which the solid is insoluble. In case of liquid, the mass of known volume of liquid is determined.
What is the difference between solid liquid gases in mass?
Nothing, if it is the same amount of material in all three phases.If however it is the same volume and pressure then solid and liquid phases will have about equal mass but the gas phase will have much less mass.
What is happening to the mass of water when it turned into ice?
The water turns from a liquid to a solid
How do you calculate solid and liquid volume?
Assuming the mass and density is known, divide the mass by the density.
What do you use when your measuring the mass of an object?
it is the scale to find the mass of a thing even liquid and solid
What are some tools a scientist would use to take measurnment?
Depending on what you were measuring and the experiment you were conducting a scientist could use a variety of different instruments, including; - Thermometer - Temperature - Measuring Cylinder - for measuring the amount of a Liquid - Scales - For measuring the mass of a solid - Measuring Pipette - amount of a liquid - Burette - amount of a Liquid during titration - Infra Red Spectroscopy - Molecular mass of a Molecule - Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) - structure, dynamics, reaction state and chemical environment of molecules There are more but these are just a few examples.
What is the difference in mass between a solid and a liquid?
A solid and liquid have the same mass if the amount is the same.
How the process of measuring a liquid's volume differs from the solid's volume?
A liquid's volume is measured in a graduated cylinder, while a solid with a irregular shape must be measured by: 1. Filling a graduated cylinder of an appropriate size with water2. record the volume of the water3. submerge the solid completely in the water in the graduated cylinder4. record the new volume level of the water5. subtract the original volume level from the second volume level to determine the volume of the solid.
What units do we use for length volume and mass?
The units for the volume if you are measuring any liquid or solid is metre^3/cm^3 as density = mass/volume. The units for mass is grams
How do people measure volume?
Of a solid, measuring the quantity of fluid displaced by the object should suffice. Of a liquid, measuring its volume with a measuring cylinder or similar. Of a gas, measuring its mass or volume under conditions of standardized temperature and pressure
How does the mass of solid candy compare to the mass of the liquid in the mold?
The mass of the solid candy is greater than the mass ofthe liquid in the mold
What unit of measurement is used for measuring liquid mass and length?
Liquid mass is measured in grams/kilograms. A liquid cannot have a length.
Does a substance loose mass when changing state?
It depends. Exapmle: If a solid changes into a liquid, it looses mass. If a liquid changes into a solid, it gains mass. I think...
Why are there two different units of measure for measuring capacity?
because capacity is mass and also amount of liquid
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.
