When is displacement used?
It is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. An object dropped into a volume of water will displace an equal volume of water.
What tools are used to measure water vapor?
hygrometer
What kind of instrument is used to measure water temp?
thermometer
Why clinical thermometers are used to measure the temperature of boiling water?
Clinical thermometers are not used to measure the temperature of boiling water! They have a range of about 35oC to 43oC and they will explode at a temperature of about 100oC! Ordinary laboratory thermometers are used.
What instrument is used to measure the weight of water?
A scale works just fine
What is an overflow can and how is it used in chemistry?
overflow can is a container used for holding water during water displacement activity,and it is used for measuring a volume of a object (usually a irregular shape one) by putting it in the the water
How is water displacement used in the real world?
Water displacement is used to measure the volumn of an irregular shaped object. If a bowling ball was immersed in water, you could use the difference in the before and after water amount to give you the mass of the object inserted.
Why is the hydrometer used to find density?
A hydrometer can be used to find the specific gravity (relative density) of a liquid by determining how much water it will displace. Various calibrations are used for different kinds of liquids.
When is displacement used?

Method used to figure the volume of an irregular object?
Immerse the object in water and measure the volume of water that is displaced. One way would be to fill a container, large enough to hold the object, with water until it is just about to overflow. The container and water would need to be inside another container that could capture the displaced water. Submerge the object in the water and then measure the volume (or weight) of the water that overflows
How ship float on water?
Ships, whether made of wood or metal, have a lighter specific gravity than water. Ships actually displace the water rather than floating on it.
Is iron used to displace copper from solutions of its salts?
Yes, the iron is used to displace copper from solutions of its salts. c';
Why can't objects float on fresh water?
Any number of things will float in fresh water. Any boat that can be used in salt water will also stay afloat in fresh. However, fresh water has a lower specific gravity than salt water, and as a result, objects that displace a certain amount of sea water will displace more fresh water; they will sit lower in fresh water.
What tool do you use to measure how hot water is?
A thermometer is used to measure the temperature of hot water.
Why is scrap iron used to displace copper?
Because iron is higher on the reactivity series meaning it can displace the copper
Why do metal ships float?
Because the material used to build them is formed into a shape that will displace a lot of water. As the shape settles into the water, once the weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the object, the object floats at that depth and doesn't settle any further. If the material were all rolled into a solid lump, it would displace much less water, and would sink like a rock.
What is a graduated cylinder for in science?
A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume, or capacity of water. Or to just measure Water.
