What is microcaliper?
It is a device that uses a pin and the pressure that it exerts on a surface of a sample to measure the sample's thickness (usually in units of micrometers). For example, if you wanted to find the thickness (in micrometers) of a sample of metal. You could place the mount/stand in the microcaliper and take the measurement. Then, measure the mount/stand with the sample. The difference between the two measurements will be the thickness of the sample.
How to calculate density weight for aluminum?
Get a sample of the metal. Use a scale to find its mass. If it is shape is that of a rectangular solid (box) measure length, width, and height and multiply to find volume. If it is irregularly shaped, use the water displacement method to find its volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density.
Is a air inside the balloon a sample of matter?
Yes. Matter is anything that exists. On earth, it is very difficult to NOT have something that is a sample of some kind of matter. Air is a mixture of transparent gases, but it has pressure and weight and mass; thus, it is matter. Unless a container is a perfect vacuum (such as you'd find in interstellar space, or a science laboratory with complicated equipment for artificially creating one) it contains matter.
Volume is the amount of matter in an object?
Volume (v) of an object is given by mass of an object (m)/ density (D). Common unit of measuring volume is meter3. Formula to find volume can be derived from the equation of density which is D = m/v.
A 1066 gram mineral displaces 300 ml of water. What is the specific gravity of the mineral?
We find that 3.53 is the spee gee (specific gravity) of our mineral. Specific gravity is a measure of the density of a substance compared to the density of water. The density of water is 1 g/ml and we just need to do some simple math. Since water is 1g/ml, we just need to find out the density of our sample in g/ml and drop the units. Note that specific gravity has no units associated with it. It is a number. Our mineral sample weighs 1066 grams, and its volume is 300 ml. 1066 / 300 = 3.53333....

What measures must you make to find the density of a sample of matter?
in a mesureing cup
What measurements must you make to find density of a sample of matter?
density = mass / volume. so you need to weigh to find the mass. To find the volume submerse in water and record the displacement of water to find the volume.
How can you find the density of?
Take a sample. Measure its mass and volume. divide. Density = m/v
What measurement is needed to find out how many trees in an acre?
density
How can you find the density of saltwater?
Take a sample. Measure its mass and volume. divide. Density = m/v
How do you find the density of chalk?
Density is measure as mass/volume. As with any matter, the density of chalk would require: 1. a measurement of its mass 2. a measurement for its volume. Mass can be measures on a scale in kg. Chalk's shape also makes it calculable for volume (in metres). If it is cylindrical, measure the height and the radius, then solve for V = (pi)(r^2)h. Divide the mass by that volume and find its density in kg/m^3.
What is the density of gold when the mass is 5.00 cm?
5.00 cm is a length measurement, not a mass measurement. You need to know the mass and volume of an object to find density. Density = mass/volume.
How would you find the density of an unknown liquid if you have all of the laboratory equipment that you need?
This depends on the nature and form of the sample:- for a solid with a regulate shape weight the sample and calculate the volume from the dimensions; density is the ratio between mass and volume. You can measure the volume of great sample by water displacement.- for other solids use a pycnometer- for liquids use a densimeter (simple or electronic)etc.
What measurement of a liquid can you make with a graduated cylinder h ow can this measurement help you find density?
everyone, believe in God
What is the density of a piece of cork that has a mass of 0.650 g and a volume of 2.71 cm2?
Volume of a substance is measured in cubic units and is given by dividing its mass by its volume. In this case it is not possible to find the density of the cork since 2.71cm2 is a measurement of an area.
How would you use the density formula to find the volume or mass of a sample?
You have to know two out of three ... mass, volume, density ... then you can find the missing one. If density is missing . . . Density = (mass)/(volume) If mass is missing . . . Mass = (density) x (volume) If volume is missing . . . Volume = (mass)/(density)
