This depends upon the phase of the material whose density you wish to find. Fir an irregularly shaped solid, you would have to find the volume using a graduated cylinder (to measure how much liquid it displaces) and then weigh it on a scale (probably a triple beam balance). A regularly shaped solid would not require a graduated cylinder, you could just get its measurements with a ruler. A liquid could be measured using a graduated cylinder and a scale. A gas could have its density relative to that of the air measured by observing its buoyancy vs. weight measured in a balloon. That is a bit more complicated.
Use a mass balance to find the mass then find the volume by V=mass/density.
The tool that compares the density of water to that of coolant is called a hydrometer. It measures the specific gravity of a liquid (the ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water) to determine its concentration or strength.
Its volume.
The density of MIC 6 aluminum tool plate is approximately 0.0975 lb/in^3 or 2.7 g/cm^3.
To calculate the volume of a compound when given its molecular weight and weight, you need to first convert the weight to moles using the molecular weight. Then, you can use the density of the compound to find the volume by dividing the weight in moles by the density. The formula is volume = weight (in moles) / density.
Density is a physical property of matter: it is not a tool.
To determine the density of a gas, you can use the formula: Density (mass of gas) / (volume of gas). Measure the mass of the gas using a scale and the volume using a graduated cylinder or other measuring tool. Then, divide the mass by the volume to find the density.
To find the density of a gas, you can use the formula: density mass/volume. First, measure the mass of the gas using a scale. Then, measure the volume of the gas using a graduated cylinder or other appropriate tool. Finally, divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the gas.
Hydrometer is used in batteries to measure density. A float tells you the density using displacement.
What tool you should use depends on what you want to achieve.
Mass = Density -------- volume
the tool used to find the width of a pencil is a ruler. But use the centimeter side of it for the width only!!
divison
Hydrometer
Density = mass/volume, so weigh a beaker, put your liquid in the beaker, weigh both beaker and liquid. With subtraction, find the weight of the liquid. Then, find the volume of the liquid with a graduated cylinder. Take mass/volume to find your density.
You would need a tool called a density meter or a hydrometer to measure the density of a block of wood. This device works by comparing the weight of the wood sample to the volume of water displaced by the wood when submerged. The density of the wood can then be calculated based on these measurements.
Use a mass balance to find the mass then find the volume by V=mass/density.
