How could you find the density of a potato?
first, you weigh it to get its mass. then you acquire its volume, since it has an irregular shape, you apply water displacement method. get a calibrated cylinder, note the initial water level and gently drop the potato in. measure the resulting water level and subtract it with the initial water level. this is your volume. density= mass/volume simply divide what you measured in grams with the volume of the potato (cm3). unit of density is grams per cubic centimeter or g/cm3
When a rock is placed in a graducated cylinder containing water the height of the water will?
The height of the water will rise a level equal to the volume of the rock.
What is an easy rock experiment?
Fill a graduated cylinder full of water, than drop a rock inside. The amount that the water rises will determine the volume of the rock. Amount of water level increase=volume of rock.
What is the effect of the acidity of potato juice on the volume of foam produced when hydrogen peroxide is added to potato juice?
Question: What is the effect of the acidity of potato juice on the volume of foam produced when hydrogen peroxide is added to potato juice? In this investigation, the prediction that if the acidity of potato juice is decreased then the volume of foam was increased was proven incorrect. Catalase is damaged by acid. The lowest foam volume was 24 ml with the highest acidity, pH6, However the highest foam volume was an average of 42 ml with the second lowest acidity level,pH8 The third highest volume was 35 ml with the second highest acidity level pH7, and the second lowest foam volume was 30 ml with the lowest acidity level pH9.
How do you find the volume of a rock given a graduated cylinder?
If the rock is small enough to be put into the cylinder, then fill the cylinder first with water to a known level (the graduations will usually indicate the volume). Then slowly drop the rock into the cylinder without splashing. Now read the level of the water (again the graduations will usually indicate the volume). Subtract the first reading from the second and that would be the volume of the rock.
Are correct procedures for reading the volume of water in the graduated cylinder?
Water in a glass graduated cylinder adheres to the sides of the cylinder, forming a meniscus which is an upward curve. When reading volume in a cylinder, look at the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve.
How do you figure out the volume of an irregular solid since you cannot pour a solid into a graduated cylinder?
The easiest way to measure the amount of fluid it displaces. So if you fill a graduated cylinder with a certain amount of water, and then place the solid object inside the cylinder, the water level will increase. The amount of increase equals the solid objects mass. EUREKA!
How you can use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of a irregular object?
Put water in the cylinder to a level that would cover the object. Drop the item in and if it sinks, read the new level on the graduations. The difference in volume between the two marks, is the volume of the item.
How could you find the volume of a small rock using only a graduated cylinder and rock?
Note the level of water in the graduated cylinder. Place the rock into the water carefully. Note the higher level to which the water rises. The difference between the old level and the new level is the volume displaced by the rock.
How can we find the volume of a small pebble with the help of measuring cylinder?
Put some liquid in the measuring cylinder - to a height that is greater than the height of the pebble. Measure the level of the liquid. Then add the pebble into the cylinder and measure the level of the liquid again. the difference between the two levels is the volume of the pebble,Put some liquid in the measuring cylinder - to a height that is greater than the height of the pebble. Measure the level of the liquid. Then add the pebble into the cylinder and measure the level of the liquid again. the difference between the two levels is the volume of the pebble,Put some liquid in the measuring cylinder - to a height that is greater than the height of the pebble. Measure the level of the liquid. Then add the pebble into the cylinder and measure the level of the liquid again. the difference between the two levels is the volume of the pebble,Put some liquid in the measuring cylinder - to a height that is greater than the height of the pebble. Measure the level of the liquid. Then add the pebble into the cylinder and measure the level of the liquid again. the difference between the two levels is the volume of the pebble,
How will you find the volume of stone using measuring cylinder?
The volume of the stone is measured by displacement. Water is put into the measuring cylinder to a noted mark. The stone is placed in the cylinder and the water level will rise. The difference between the two levels is the volume in ml of the stone.
If you fill a graduated cylinder to 35 milliliters then add 4 cm cubes what will the water level be?
Volume = (height)(base)(depth)cube = all equal sideswater level = water volume + volume of cubes
