Which occupies the greatest volume 1g of ice 1 g of liquid water or 1g of water vapor?

1g water vapour occupies the greatest volume - even at high pressure. 1g of liquid water occupies the least volume. 1g of solid ice is greater volume than liquid water - and this is the only common liquid where the solid is of less volume than the liquid state.


Where was the first human fossil found?

No one knows what the first fossil found was - humans have been collecting the oddly shaped stones for thousands of years around the world. It has only been in the last couple of centuries that fossils have been recognized as the remains of ancient and extinct animals.


If I feel my forehead with my hand and it feels oddly warm should I take my temperature?

Yesterday, my daughter complained of feeling warm, and I didn't want to risk it, so I took her temperature. I advise you to do the same.


What is greater 4 L or 1 Gallon?

Well, oddly enough, it depends. There are at least three common "gallons." A US fluid gallon is 3.785 Liters. So 4 Liters is larger than a US fluid gallon. A US dry gallon is 4.405 Liters, and a UK gallon is 4.546 Liters, so both of those are larger than 4 liters. This question points up one of the problems with the non-SI systems of units. When you say "liter" (or 'litre'), everybody knows what volume you're talking about, but when you say "gallon", they have to ask "which one ?" .


What was the response of the church to the scientific revolution?

The term scientific revolution is vague. do you mean the enlightenment< when such men as Boyle and Newton started questioning and analyzing the processes of nature? somewhat oddly, and maybe this was just in the vanguard of progressivism- modernism or whatever you choose to call it, but there was little religious opposition to advances in technology - particulaily in communications field as these devices such as the Telegraph, telephone ( dial a prayer?) printing machinery- could be used to spread the gospel. in fact the Battle Hymn of the Republic seems to allude to the telegraph ( inaccurately one might add, as even with wireless there are no visible sparks) in the line about the ( Dim and Flaring Lamps!) okay- forward march! but then about ten years after the civil war- impacted Evolution or (Evil-you-shun) times changed. The churches got on a common ground and generally opposed the Darwinian model and it got more than a little ugly.- this spread to a distrust of science- all of this long before the advent of Nuclear Weapons or Gas warfare.

Submerge it in water and measure how much the water rises.


What is a easy way to measure the volume of an oddly shaped object?

Displacement. You have a beaker with a known amount of water. Put the object in. Subtract the current volume minus the starting volume (of water). The difference is the amount of water displaced, telling you the volume of the object.


What information about a mineral or rock is needed to determine its density?

To determine the density of an object, you need its mass and volume. If the object is oddly shaped, you can determine its volume by measuring the volume of water displaced when thee object is submerged in a container of water.

Contours lines are oddly shaped because it goes according to how it is shaped.

How is the graduated cylinder volume different from the volume measured by using a metric ruler?

If the object is oddly or irregularly shaped, then it's much easier to measureits volume with the graduated cylinder than with the ruler. But the volumeis the same no matter how it's measured. If the results are not the same,then at least one and possibly both measurements were done wrong.

How do you calculate how many will fit in a box?

This could be a relatively easy volume question or not. First you have to figure the volume of the box. This is Height x Length x Width. Then you find the volume of the object you want to put in the box. If they are rectangular the formula is the same. If they are spherical the equation is 4/3 Pi R^3. If they are oddly shaped the equation is more difficult or you must measure the volume by another means such as water displacement. Once you have the volume of the box and the volume of what you want to put in the box you just divide the later into the former and you have how many should fit in the box. Now an assumption of this solution assumes all the "free" space is occupied by the object you put in the box. If your solution needs an exact number in real life you have to figure out the amount of "free" space that is lost with each object placed in the box and add that into the calculation.
