When weighing a liquid or gas and some granular or unwieldy solids, we usually put them into a container. Then we need to subtract (deduct) the weight of the empty container from the combined weight of the container and the substance whose weight we wish to know.

Some babies are weighed by weighing the mother, then weighing the mother when she's holding the baby, and deducting the weight of the mother.... in this case the mother is the baby's "container".

How do you measure mass of a container?

To measure the mass of a container, place the empty container on a digital scale and record the reading. Then, add the items you want to measure inside the container and take the new reading. The difference between the two readings will give you the mass of the items in the container.


How does increasing the mass of your protective container affect the force of gravity on the container?

Increasing the mass of a protective container does not affect the force of gravity acting on it. The force of gravity is determined by the mass of the planet or celestial body the container is on and the distance from the center of that body. The mass of an object does not affect the force of gravity acting on it.


Will a container with smaller volume have a larger mass?

Not necessarily. The mass of a container is determined by the material it is made of, not its volume. A larger volume container made of the same material will have a greater mass due to more material being present.


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 mass of the water inside of the container?

To determine the mass of water inside the container, you would need to know the volume of the water and its density. The mass can be calculated using the formula: mass = volume x density.

A container has a mass of 150 g what is mass of a liquid if the container plus the liquid has a mass of 185?

If a container has a mass of 150g and the mass of the liquid plus the container is 185g, then the mass of the liquid is 35g.


How do you find a mass by difference?

Mass of the contained material = Total mass (mass of the container + mass of the material) - Mass of container


Will an empty container increase in mass when heated?

No, an empty container will not increase in mass when heated. Heating an empty container will not create additional matter within the container to increase its mass.


What is the mass of a powder if the combined mass of the powder and its container is 12 grams and the mass of the container alone is 4 grams?

The mass of the powder is 8 grams. This can be calculated by subtracting the mass of the container (4 grams) from the total mass of the powder and container (12 grams).


How do you find the mass of a comtainer?

To find the mass of a container, you can weigh the container using a scale. Simply measure the weight of the container when it is empty, and then weigh it again when it is filled with the material. The mass of the container can be calculated by subtracting the weight of the empty container from the weight of the filled container.


A container has a mass of 150 gram What is the mass of a liquid if the container plus the liquid has a mass of 185 gram?

The mass of the liquid is 35 grams. This is calculated by subtracting the mass of the empty container (150 grams) from the total mass of the container plus the liquid (185 grams).


What is the mass of the table salt if the combined mass of the table salt and the container is 124g and the mass of the container is 9g?

The mass of the table salt can be calculated by subtracting the mass of the container from the combined mass of the table salt and the container. So, 124g - 9g = 115g. Therefore, the mass of the table salt is 115g.
