How the process of measuring the volume of a liquid different from the process of measuring the volume of a solid?
Because liquid and solid are two different things
How the process of measuring a liquid's volume differs from the solid's volume?
A liquid's volume is measured in a graduated cylinder, while a solid with a irregular shape must be measured by: 1. Filling a graduated cylinder of an appropriate size with water2. record the volume of the water3. submerge the solid completely in the water in the graduated cylinder4. record the new volume level of the water5. subtract the original volume level from the second volume level to determine the volume of the solid.
How to find mass and volume?
Volume is how much space a object takes up. It is measured with measuring cups, beakers, etc. For liquids, you just put it in a volumetric measuring device such as a graduated cylinder, For the volume of solids that cannot simply be measured with L x W x H which will give you an answer in units of measurement cubed. An individual can measure the displacement volume of a solid (if it is more dense than the liquid) by filling a graduated cylinder with a liquid and putting the solid to be measured in the same cylinder, then subtracting the measurement of the liquid and solid from that of the measurement of just the liquid. Mass is the quantity of mass determined by its weight. You can often use a scale, triple beam balance, etc.
What tools are used to measure the density of a regularly shaped solid?
To measure the density of a regularly shaped solid, common tools used include a balance or scale to measure the mass, and a ruler or caliper to measure the dimensions (length, width, and height) of the solid. With this information, the density can be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume of the solid, which can be determined by multiplying the three dimensions together.
17 lbs solid weight equals solid quarts?
There is no such thing as solid weight. All matter on Earth has weight whether it is solid, liquid or gas. There is also no such thing as a solid quart. A quart is a measure of volume usually applied to liquids or granulated substances such as flour or sugar. The volume of solid objects is usually measured in cubic centimeters or cubic inches. The volume of a given solid object will vary inversely with its density. The denser it is, the smaller it will be.
How do you measure the space occupied by solid objects?
Volume of an object is a measure of the space occupied by objects.
How many tbsp are in 1 solid oz?
Depends on what you are measuring. Ounces measure weight, tbsp measure volume.
Uses of measuring cups?
it is use for measuring food
How do people measure volume?
Of a solid, measuring the quantity of fluid displaced by the object should suffice. Of a liquid, measuring its volume with a measuring cylinder or similar. Of a gas, measuring its mass or volume under conditions of standardized temperature and pressure
What measuring unit is used for solid?
Grams. * * * * * That is total rubbish. Grams is a measure of mass, not volume. Volume may be measured in cubic centimetres ( 1 cc = 1 millilitre) for small objects, litres for medium sized objects to cubic metres for "normal" large objects and cubic kilometres for mountains or bigger.
What is an easy way to measure the volume of an oddly shaped solid object?
by measuring the amount of water it displaces
How do you measure the mass and volume of a solid?
The mass is measured with a balance. Measuring the dimensions the volume can be calculated; or after determination of the density: V=M/d.
How do you measure the volume irregular solid?
You place it in water to see the volume of water it displaces. Fill a large, graduated measuring cylinder to about halfway with water (say to 50mL) Put the irregular solid in, and measure the volume it reads (solid + water). (say it reads 80mL) So the volume of the irregular solid will be: volume(solid+water) - volume(water). For example, the volume of the water was 50mL, and when the solid was added, the volume increased to 80mL. The volume of the solid would be 80mL - 50mL. So it would be 30mL.
What pieces of lab equipment measure volume?
There are three ways to measure volume. If you are measuring a liquid, you need a graduated cyliner. If you are measuring the volume of a regular solid, you need a ruler to measure length, width, and height. You would then use the formula V=LxWxH. The third way to measure volume is to use displacement to find the volume of an irregular solid. You would put a certain amount of water in a graduated cylinder, write the starting amount down. Add the irregular solid to the graduated cylinder. Record the ending amount of liquid and subtract the ending amount minus the starting amount.
How the process of measuring the volume of a liquid different from the process of measuring the volume of a solid?
Because liquid and solid are two different things
Can a liquid measuring cup be used to measure solids?
Only if the solid is in the form of a fine powder. Alternatively, if the solid is small and you have a liquid in which it is not soluble, then it is possible to employ the displacement method to measure its volume.
What unit is used for measuring solid volume?
Grams. * * * * * That is total rubbish. Grams is a measure of mass, not volume. Volume may be measured in cubic centimetres ( 1 cc = 1 millilitre) for small objects, litres for medium sized objects to cubic metres for "normal" large objects and cubic kilometres for mountains or bigger.
