From the volume of the flask, and the density of air under the conditions in the room, you can calculate the mass of air. The density of air varies with pressure, temperature, humidity, etc. At sea level and at 15 °C air has a density of approximately 0.001225 g/ml, so under these conditions, a liter flask would contain (1000 ml)(0.001225 g/ml) = 1.225 g of air.

Find the mass of:

  • A: the flask with air in it;
  • B: the flask filled with water;
  • C: the mass of only that water.

Then C - B = mass of flask and A - B = mass of air in the flask.

Mass = Volume x Density
First the evaluation of the flask volume is needed; the density of air is 1,3 g/L.

How do you measure the mass of an empty graduated cylinder?

The easiest way is to place the graduated cylinder on a scale or balance and measure the weight. You would then calculate from the weight (a force measured in kg, usually) to determine the mass.

How would an inverted can empty on the moon?

Neglecting the effects of air resistance, it would empty just like on earth only it would be slower. The time it takes would be proportional to the ratio of the mass of the moon to the mass of the earth.

Not enough information. To calculate mass, you would need volume and density (mass = volume x density).


Can an Erlenmeyer flask measure in grams?

No. An erlenmyer flask measures volume, usually in mililiters, but sometimes in liters. Grams is a measurement of mass, and to measure mass you need a ballance.
