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.

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

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.


What are all the different phase changes of matter?

The different phase changes of matter are: melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), sublimation (solid to gas), and deposition (gas to solid).


What are the six different phase changes?

The six different phase changes are: Melting (solid to liquid) Freezing (liquid to solid) Vaporization (liquid to gas) Condensation (gas to liquid) Sublimation (solid to gas) Deposition (gas to solid)

How does the word displacement apply to indirect measurement of volume?

Volume is difficult to calculate mathematically in a complex shape. Immersing an object in a liquid pushes out a volume of that liquid equal to the volume of the object. The result is called displacement because the solid displaces the liquid.

Explain the different processes in measuring the volume of a liquid and measuring the volume of a rectangular solid.?

You can measure the volume of a liquid by pouring it into a container with scale markings - measuring cup or graduated cylinder. The volume of a solid shape can be calculated by a geometric formula. If the shape is irregular, the volume can be found by displacement of a liquid. See the related link for a famous story!

What are the different changes of state?

melting (solid to liquid) freezing (liquid to solid) *vaporization (liquid to gas) condensation (gas to liquid) sublimation (solid to gas) *evaporation, boiling


Why the solid changing to liquid?

A solid will turn into a liquid if the temperature get hot enough. There are different temperatures for different solids, so you might have to check.
