Why will there be a great error if the water displacement method is used to to determine the volume of rice grains?

because the rice grains will absorb some of the water, which will then not be measured on the depth scale.

What properties must a solid have for the water displacement method to be useful?
Volume. The displacement method refers to immersing in a liquid. If the liquid is in a container with volume measurement marks, then the object's volume is the difference in the liquid's volume, measured before and after immersion. There's a legend that the discovery of the displacement method was made by Archimedes when entering a bathtub full of water, which overflowed. This is postulated as the source of the exclamation "Eureka!" ("I have found it").
What are the 3 problems of irregular solid?
its volume can only be messured by displacement. it is difficult to equaly devide. it can be difficult to determine density if you are trying to determine the density of the material, not the object.
In determining volume by displacement why is it important that there are no air bubbles adhering to the solid?
It affects the volume of the sample. Your results will be affected because volume is the factor you are trying to determine. Air bubbles displace water just like anything else.
How do you determine the density of 10 grams of granular zinc?
Density is the ratio mass/volume. For a granular material you need a helium pycnometer.Or - more simple, if it is possible - a graduate cylinder for the measure of the volume by the displacement of water.
Can water displacement find the volume of substances?
Water displacement can accurately find the volume of substances as it represents the same amount of space or volume. An object placed into the water will displace the same amount of water volume as its own volume.
How do you determine the mass of an irregular shaped object using displacement method?
The displacement method is used to determine volume. However, if you know the density, the displacement test can give volume, which is used to work out mass by the formula m = dV
If a liquid is to be used to determine the volume of a solid by displacement method what three criteria must be made?
Two of them are: the volume of the water, and how much there is.

What is the name for the method of using the displacements of water to find the volume of a strange shaped object?
Displacement method.... Is the method to find volume of an irregular object
True or false one method used to measure the volume of an irregular solid involves immersing the object in the water?
Traditionally, displacement is when you place a solid in a known amount of liquid, then determine the volume based on how much liquid is displaced by the object. You can't displace a liquid with another liquid and find its volume. With that said, the statement "One method used to determine the volume of solids and liquids is displacement" must be completely true. However, as we established in the previous paragraph, displacement is not a method for finding the volume of a liquid. Because an "and" operator is used in the statement, that means displacement must apply to both solids and liquids, or the statement as a whole is unsound. And since we previously determined that displacement is not a method for finding the volume of a liquid, this makes the statement unsound and false.
Could the water displacement method be used to determine the volume of a regular shaped object as well as an irregular shaped object?
Yes
How can i determine the volume of a marble?
Water displacement.
How can you calculate the density of a screw?
density = mass/volume Determine the volume of the screw by using the water displacement method (see related link below). Determine the mass of the screw on a balance or scale. Divide the mass by the volume, and that will be the density.
What is the name of the method of finding the volume of an object with an irregular shape?
"displacement volume"
Why is displacement of water an example of an indirect measurement?
Water displacement is a method to measure volume
When would you use displacement and when would you use math to determine volume of an object?
I would assume that you would use displacement to determine volume when the object is extremely complicatedly shaped.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the volume displacement method?
You can buy a cat.
