Yes, volume is an unreliable measure of the quantity of matter as the same material can have different densities, but the same volume. For example, 1L of ice, water, and steam all contain the same volume of water, but the number of atoms in that volume can vary.

No state of matter corresponds to this. Solids are the only state with definite shape, but they have a definite volume too.
Is it always a good idea to discard low efficiency devices?
No...... Not always........... They can be modified to high efficiency..............
How can you calculate the density of humans?
Measure the mass first i.e. Body weight , then measure the volume of the body by immersing in known quanity of water contained in a tub, measure the quantity of water displaced, which provides the measure of volume . Divide the Body weight by volume of the body.
What must be the density of the liquid if the data are good?
The density of the liquid is equal to the weight of the liquid divided by the volume.

Explain why an ice cream factory measure with volume?
Volume is used for ice cream as a measure. For example, you can buy a quart or gallon or pint (all units of measure of volume) carton of ice cream. This use of volume measure is better than using other forms, such as weight, for a measure. Weight, for example, is not as good. Different ingredients will weight more or less than others, while volume is set and standard, regarless of the type of ice cream.

Where do you measure the curve of a cylinder to find its volume?
A good place to measure is the diameter of the circular end. That gives you the area of the circular end, and the only other number you need in order to calculate the cylinder's volume is its straight length.
How many tons are in 1056 cubic feet?
Good question but you can't figure it out unless you know the density of the substance. Tons is a measure of mass/weight & cubic feet is a measure of volume. Density is measured in mass per unit volume.
How many cups are in lb sugar?
A good estimate would be about 20 but that is not exact. Cups is a measure of volume. Pounds is a measure of weight and mass. You can not directly convert the two.
How many cups are in one lb of sugar?
A good estimate would be 2 cups. Cups is a measure of volume. Pounds is a measure of weight and mass. You can not directly convert the two.
What are units for density?
There is no specific unit, per se, to measure density. Density is always expressed as a ratio of mass/volume. Examples of density ratios include:gm/cm3Kg/m3ounces/cubic inchpounds/gallon
