How the process of measuring a liquid's volume differs from the solid's volume?
Wiki User
∙ 8y ago
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 water
2. record the volume of the water
3. submerge the solid completely in the water in the graduated cylinder
4. record the new volume level of the water
5. subtract the original volume level from the second volume level to determine the volume of the solid.

What units are usually used for measuring the density of solids of liquids?
The unit for density is kg m-3.
What are the laboratory apparatus that use to measure mass and volume?
For measuring the mass (solids) of a substance you would need to use a balance. Measuring volume (liquids) a volumetric flask is required.
Why Solids are strong?
Solids are strong because they are not like liquids,liquids can go through your hand and solids cant
Compare Solids and Liquids using the Venn Diagram?
solids molecules are closely compacted and liquids molecules are spread apart. Both solids and liquids molecules are always moving.
What do solids liquids and gases depend on?
solids, liquids, and gasses, all depend on how many atoms are in that element.
What is process to separate solids from liquids?
pick up the solids with your hands and separate them from the liquids :P
What are the process when liquids turns to solids?
Freezing.
What is process to separate solids from solids?
pick up the solids with your hands and separate them from the liquids :P
When solids turn to liquids you call it?
The process of melting.
What is a ounces?
Ounces are a unit of measurement that can measure either solids or liquids. When measuring solids, there are 16 ounces in a pound. In terms of liquids, an ounce is 1/20 of a pint or 1/128 of a gallon.
What units are usually used for measuring the density of solids of liquids?
The unit for density is kg m-3.
Can you use the same measuring cup when measuring ingredients for pastry?
Yes, but you should measure solids before measuring liquids. If you, for example, measure water before measuring flour, the flour will stick to the measuring cup.
Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?
Liquids do, but solids do not.
What is the difference between measuring a solid than a liquid?
With liquids you can just stick in a thermometer into it. But with solids sometimes you can't do that (because it's solid obviously) so I guess measuring liquids is more accurate in most cases.
What can be used to weigh solids liquids or gases?
you can use a scale for weight, a beaker or measuring cup for liquid, and for gases idk
What is the change of Solids to liquids to solids again called?
Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
