What are the advantages of using a graduated cylinder than a ruler?
well with a graduated cylinder you can measure liquid
How do you calculate mass and volume to get density?
You MEASURE mass with a balance. You MEASURE volume (if liquid) with a graduated cylinder. Then take these and divide. density = mass divided by volume.
Can mass be measured in a graduated cylinder?
No. You mesure volume with a graduated cylinder.
How do you measure the mass of a solid with a graduated cylinder without the density?
You cannot measure the mass of a solid with a graduated cylinder.
Calculate the density of water using a graduated cylinder?
not quite. you can measure volume in a graduated cylinder. you can use a scale, water, and a graduated cylinder to find out the density of an object by filling the graduated cylinder to an easily calculated point (250) then dropping your object in the water making sure none splashes out then measure the difference, then weigh it and divide the mass by volume to get density.
How can you measure the volume of irregular solids if you do not have a graduated cylinder?
measure the volume of liquid that the object displaces
What are the common tools scientist use to measure length mass and liquid volume?
meter sticks graduated cylinder triple been balance
What is needed to calculate the density of a graduated cylinder?
Mass and volume are needed to calculate the density of a graduated cylinder.
Can you use a graduated cylinder to find which of two objects has a greater mass?
No, you would not use a graduated cylinder to compare the mass of two objects, that would be silly. Graduated cylinders are only useful to measure volume, not mass. Mass is measured with a scale. Chemists usually use a triple beam balance.
Lab equipment to measure mass?
graduated cylinder
What unit of measurement does a graduated cylinder use?
The unit of measurement that a graduated cylinder uses is the volume/mass of water.
Can you use a graduated cylinder to measure mass?
Yes, provided you know the density of the substance and the substance can be adequately measured by the cylinder. Because density is the quotient of the mass and volume, the mass is the product of the density and volume. So if you multiply the density and volume (assuming the units match), you will find the mass.
