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.
Can you use milliliters to measure a solid?
No,it's a measure of liquid volume
How can you measure the volume of an irregularly shape solid?
Yes you can.You can measure the solid by putting it into a gradruated cylinder.The height of the water shows you how much volume the solid has. fun is at www.qyue.webs.com
What does A Graduated Cylinder used for?
It is used primarily to accurately measure liquid volume. It can also be used to measure solid volume by liquid displacement.
Does a milliliter measure a solid or liquid?
Milliliters and liters are units of volume.
How could you determine the volume of a solid that has a surface too highly irregular to measure?
Immerse it in a liquid, and measure how much the level of the liquid rises.
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 measure the volume of large irregular solid?
To measure the volume of a large irregular solid, you can use the water displacement method. Fill a container with a known volume of water, then submerge the irregular solid in the water and measure the change in water level. The difference in water level will indicate the volume of the irregular solid.
What are the steps you would use to find the volume of an irregular solid in an overflow can?
Fill the can with a liquid to the top so it almost overflows. Put the solid in the can and catch the overflowing liquid. Measure the liquid. The measurement of the liquid will give you the volumn of the solid.
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 does it mean to say that a liquid has a denfinite volume but no denfinite shape?
It means that you can measure the volume of the liquid but you cannot measure the dimensions of it because it will take the dimensions of the container it is in. Example: glass of water - liquid - you can measure how much water is there ice cube - water - solid - you can also measure the dimensions and size of the cube
Is volume only for liquid?
No, volume can be used to measure the amount of space an object occupies, whether it is a solid, liquid, gas, or any other material. Volume is the three-dimensional space that an object or substance occupies.
