Put the "something" into the liquid, and see if it will float.

What is a stalagmometer?
It's an instrument used to determine the number of drops in a given quantity of liquid.
What is an example of an abstraction?
Abstraction is a process of obtaining or removing something from a source. The process of evaporation is an example of extraction. In evaporation, the process of changing a liquid into a gas, removes some or all of the liquid which is given off in the form of vapor.An example is the extraction (abstraction) of salt from sea water using evaporation ponds.
When you start from a given set of rules and conditions to determine what must be true what form of reasoning are you using?
deductive reasoning
Which set of equipment would be most useful to determine the density of a liquid?
The instrument used to measure the density of a liquid is a hydrometer. These are often made for specific purposes, because the density of a given liquid may not vary much. Milk hydrometers are used to estimate the creaminess of raw milk. A battery hydrometer is used on your car battery, for the density of the sulphuric acid varies with the amount of lead dissolved, which indicates the state to which the battery is charged.
What happen to liquid when it absorbs or released heat?
Liquid would get changed into gas form at this fixed temperature, called as Boiling point of the liquid. The heat thus given will be known as Latent Heat.

Suppose you were given an unknown liquid and asked to determine if it was an element a compound or a mixture What would you do How would this help you find out what it was?
If I was given an unknown liquid and asked to determine if it was an element, a compound, or a mixture I would heat the unknown liquid up to see if any compounds separated from the unknown liquid. After that I would get a microscope and look to see if it is a pure element. Then I would get a Platelet separation machine and put the liquid in the machine to see if the liquid separated. Thats how I would determine if the an unknown liquid is an element, a compound, or a mixture.
How does temperatures affect the density of most substances?
if something is more dense it flows the opposite of where the heat is given or the opposite with the coldness
Explain in terms of particles why energy must be given to a liquid if it is to be changed to a gas?
Well, basically, a gas is a lot less dense than a liquid. The particles spread out more freely and move a lot faster. It obviously takes energy for this occur.
How do you determine the volume of solids that float on the water?
You can either:try the displacement method with a fluid which is less dense than water, ormeasure the volume of a very dense object (which will sink), attach this object to the given solid and find their combined volume. The difference between the two volumes is the required answer.
Why don't most solids float on their liquid forms?
Typically, the solid phase of a substance is denser than its liquid phase, because higher molecular energy makes the liquid molecules take up more volume for a given mass.An important exception is solid water (ice) which takes on a lattice molecular shape and expands when it freezes, so ice is less dense and floats on liquid water.
What is in a given liquid?
Since you haven't said what the "given liquid" is, you will need to use analytical techniques to find out what's in it.
How can an object Float in Fluid Y which has a specific density greater than water and yet sink in Fluid X which has a specific density less than water?
There is nothing strange about the fact that a given object can float in a denser substance and sink in a substance which is less dense. Objects float when the amount of liquid that they displace weighs as much as the object. So the denser the liquid, the less liquid has to be displaced in order for an object to float. If an object is fully submersed and still cannot displace enough liquid to equal its own weight, then it sinks. This will happen any time an object is in a liquid which is less dense than the object. If the liquid is more dense than the object, the object can float in it. Also note that the density of an object includes any air which the object contains. Hollow objects become less dense. Boats float even when they are built of dense materials, because their shape allows them to include a lot of air when they are displacing water. But if the boat leaks, water can fill the space that is supposed to be filled with air, and then the boat sinks. It is very logical.
How can you determine the level of liquid without making any cintact with it using any probe?
By differential pressure of the liquid and the air gap above the liquid. Both the pressures are given to the differential pressure transmitter, and the signal received from the transmitter is then converted into level using conversion factors supplied by the supplier of the transmitter.
Why LPG is not liquid?
Liquid Petroleum Gas is a liquid - the fumes given off is an inflammable gas.
What is the name given to liquid fat?
Liquid fats are known as oils
What is the definition of buoyancy?
Buoyancy is the relative tendency of an object to displace a fluid, that is to either float or sink in a liquid, or to rise or sink within a gas. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object that is immersed in it. It is caused by the displacement of the fluid by the object. Objects that have less average density than the fluid will be held up (buoyed). They will float in a given liquid or rise within a volume of a given gas. the force with which a more dence fluid pushes a less dense substance upwards!!!!!!! the force with which a more dence fluid pushes a less dense substance upwards!!!!!!!
