A measuring jug is all you need for the volume
and a mass balance is needed to determine mass.

How do you find mass of a rock by its density?
Determine its volume by how much water it displaces, then divide mass by volume
What information about a mineral or rock is needed to determine its density?
To determine the density of an object, you need its mass and volume. If the object is oddly shaped, you can determine its volume by measuring the volume of water displaced when thee object is submerged in a container of water.
What is the volume of a rock with a density of 3.68 gcm3 and a mass of 430 g?
116.8478 cubic centimeters (approximately) You can determine this by dividing the mass by the density.
What would you do to determine the volume of a rock?
You would determine the volume of water it displaces and measure it.
How do you calculate the mass of a rock?
The mass of a rock is just how much it weighs. Density on the other hand can be found by finding the volume or size of the rock (most easily done in small objects by placing the rock into a beaker or graduated cylinder with markings to see how much water the rock displaces. Completely submerge the rock antd the increase in volume in the water is the volume of the rock). Once you know how much volume there is and how much mass there is (mass is how much it weighs) divide the mass by the volume which gives you the density. Density=Mass÷Volume
How would you determine the density of an irregular shaped rock?
Not always easy. Since density is defined as the mass of a unit volume of material,you would measure the volume of the rock by putting it into a container half filled with water and then measure the volume change.
How do you determine the density of a rock 5 grams and 1 milliliter?
The same way you determine the density of any other object. Divide the mass by the volume. Add: density = mass/volume = 5g/1mL = 5g/mL = 5g/cm3* *1mL = 1 cm3
Mass of rock?
Mass is measured by density multiplied by volume. In order to figure out a mass of a rock, one must know its density and its volume measurements.
What is the density if a rock is 212 mass and the volume is 12g?
This question cannot be answered for the following reasons: 1. There are no units for the mass of the rock. It could be 212 kilograms, pounds, tons etc. 2. The volume cannot be measured in g - which stands for grams (a measure of mass). It is not possible to determine whether the volume is in litres, cubic feet or any other measure.
If a rock with less mass and volume than a body of water how is it possible that it has a greater density and can sink?
Body of water has large mass and volume. Rock has got less mass and volume. But still the rock sinks in the water. The reason is very simple. Density of the rock is more than water. Mass upon volume of the rock is more than water. So rock sinks in the water. That means rock is heavier than water, if the volume of both is same. Alternately the if you take the same mass of both, rock and water, volume of the rock is lesser than that of water.
How do you find density of a rock?
The simplest way is to use the formula: P = m / V Density = mass / volume So to calculate the denisty of the rock you will have to find out how much it weighs and how much volume it occupies. You can measure the weight by placing the rock on a weighing scale, this will give the weight in grams. You can determine the volume by submerging the rock in a measuring cup partially filled with water and measuring how much the volume increases. This will give the volume in cm3 Now use the formula to calculate its density in g/cm3.
Which would have the greater mass - a rock with a volume of 1mL or a rock with a volume of 4mL?
The answer depnds on the density of each rock. If they are different denities thenthere is a chance that the 1mL rock may have more mass. If they have the same density then the 4mL rock will have more mass
