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.

What measurements must you make to find the density of a sample of matters?

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.


Describe a method that the student could use to find the volume of this rock?

You can find the volume of a small rock in no time at all. Just fill up a container that is marked by volume with water and record the volume. Then drop the small rock inside the container. Record the new volume. Find the difference between the new and old volumes. This is the volume of the small rock. You could do this in any liquid.


Explain how to find the density of a substance?

Density is calculated by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume. To find the volume, you can measure the dimensions if it is a regular shape, or use water displacement method for irregular shapes. Once you have the mass and volume, divide the mass by the volume to find the density.


How do you find the density of an unknown mineral?

To find the density of an unknown mineral, you can measure its mass using a scale and then measure its volume by displacement in water. Divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the mineral.


What problem could you have if you tried to use displacement of water to find the volume of a sugar cube?

a sugar cube has air spaces in it. when put in water, the spaces will fill. the volume of water displaced will therefore be less than the original volume of the cube, so no

What method of measurement is used to find the volume of an irregular solid?

The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.

How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?

To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water, you can use the water displacement method. Fill a known volume of water in a container, note the initial water level, then submerge the object in the water and measure the new water level. The difference in water levels is the volume of the object.
