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").

It must not be soluble in water or chemically react with water (eg do not try to find the volume of a piece of potassium or sodium unless you want a serious accident!)

Can Solid volumes can always be determined by the displacement method?
True
How do compare the volume of sugar solution and pure water?
The properties of sugar and water alone is a liquid and a solid. The properties of sugar-water solution is a liquid.
What does the production of a slightly soluble solid compound in a double displacement reaction result in?
Solid precipitate
Is hair gel liqiud or solid?
it is a non newtonian liquid that has both properties of a liquid and properties of a solid. When it hardens it's considered to just be a solid
What is an insoluble solid that forms as result of a double - displacement reaction?
precipitate
Solid volumes always be determined by the displacement method?
False
Can Solid volumes always be determined by the displacement method?
No, it cant
Can Solid volumes can always be determined by the displacement method?
True
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.
Is there another method to determine the density of an irregular solid outside of the water displacement method?
I think to the helium pycnometry.
How do you get the volume of any shape regular or irregular?
if it is a solid, use the water displacement method.
What is the name of the method used to find the volume of an irregular shaped solid?
Liquid displacement
What is an alternative to water displacement for finding the volume of a solid?
If the solid is a regular shape, such as a cylinder or sphere, you can find the appropriate dimensions and use formulas to find the result. If it is of a irregular size, I doubt if there is another method (even if there is, displacement of water would most likely be the simplest method)
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.
You would use the method of water displacement to find what?
I believe you can use it to tell if gold is solid, or anything you would wan't to know the density of, for that matter
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.
What are the properties of solid materials?
