Measuring the mass of a solid involves using a balance or scale to directly weigh the object. The mass of a solid remains constant regardless of its shape or volume. Measuring the mass of a liquid involves using a container to hold the liquid and then weighing the container with the liquid inside. The mass of a liquid can vary based on its volume and the container it is held in due to the fluidity and ability to change shape.

How measuring The mass of a solid is different from measuring the mass of a liquid Explain?

Measuring the mass of a solid involves using a balance scale to weigh the solid directly, while measuring the mass of a liquid typically involves using a container to hold the liquid and then weighing the container with the liquid inside. Liquids can take the shape of their container, so the mass of the container needs to be accounted for in the measurement.


What is the difference between the methods of finding density of liquid than finding the density of solid?

A solid has air gaps. Density is mass per volume. Volume of the known mass of solid is determined by displacement of liquid in which the solid is insoluble. In case of liquid, the mass of known volume of liquid is determined.


Why is it necessary to know the mass of the graduated cylinder in an order to find the mass of the liquid?

Knowing the mass of the graduated cylinder allows you to subtract it from the total mass of the cylinder and the liquid, giving you the mass of the liquid alone. This step is important for accurately determining the mass of the liquid without the container's contribution.


Does a gas have mass and volume and state?

Yes, a gas has mass because its molecules have mass. A gas also has volume, although this volume can change based on the conditions it is in. A gas can exist in different states (solid, liquid, gas) depending on its temperature and pressure.


The heat of fusion is defined as the energy required at constant temperature to change 1 unit mass of a?

The heat of fusion is the amount of energy required to change 1 unit mass of a solid to a liquid at constant temperature.

What do you use when your measuring the mass of an object?

it is the scale to find the mass of a thing even liquid and solid


Is mass conserved when a solid is dissolved in a liquid?

Yes, mass is conserved when a solid is dissolved in a liquid. The total mass of the solid and the liquid remains the same before and after dissolution. The solid particles disperse in the liquid, maintaining the overall mass of the system.


What are some tools a scientist would use to take measurnment?

Depending on what you were measuring and the experiment you were conducting a scientist could use a variety of different instruments, including; - Thermometer - Temperature - Measuring Cylinder - for measuring the amount of a Liquid - Scales - For measuring the mass of a solid - Measuring Pipette - amount of a liquid - Burette - amount of a Liquid during titration - Infra Red Spectroscopy - Molecular mass of a Molecule - Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) - structure, dynamics, reaction state and chemical environment of molecules There are more but these are just a few examples.


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.


What units do we use for length volume and mass?

The units for the volume if you are measuring any liquid or solid is metre^3/cm^3 as density = mass/volume. The units for mass is grams


How does the mass of solid candy compare to the mass of the liquid in the mold?

The mass of the solid candy is greater than the mass ofthe liquid in the mold


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 unit of measurement is used for measuring liquid mass and length?

Liquid mass is measured in grams/kilograms. A liquid cannot have a length.


Does a substance loose mass when changing state?

It depends. Exapmle: If a solid changes into a liquid, it looses mass. If a liquid changes into a solid, it gains mass. I think...


How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?

You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.


Why are there two different units of measure for measuring capacity?

because capacity is mass and also amount of liquid
