Does the amount of liquid displaced by an object depend on the object's mass?

No. It depends on the amount of space the object occupies, which is known as its "volume".
Within that volume, it may have a large mass, a small mass, or an in-between mass, depending on
what substance comprises the object. In each case, it would displace the same amount of liquid.
In fact, where the question uses the slippery word "amount", it's really talking about "volume" of liquid.

What is displaced liquid?
What is displaced liquid mean in science terms?
How do you find mass if density and displacement are known?
Measure the amount of liquid that is displaced by the object in question (you will probably need a graduated cylinder). The amount of liquid displaced is the volume of the object. Then, since you have the volume of the object, you can find the mass of the object. Mass=Density x Volume.
What is the relationship between the weight of displaced liquid and the buoyant force on the body?
Boyant force on a body will equal weight of displaced liquid or the body keeps sinking
What is buyont force?
As a body gets immersed in the liquid then equal volume of the liquid is displaced. The weight of this displaced liquid would offer an upward force tending to push the immersed body out of the liquid. This force is known to be BUOYANT FORCE.
What do sinking objects have in common?
They all have densities greater than the density of the fluid in which they are sinking. The mass of the displaced liquid is less than the mass of the sinking body.
What would you use to measure an irregular objects volume?
I would place it in a container full of liquid after measuring the liquid. I would measure the amount of liquid displaced by the object. That amount is equal to the volume of the irregular object if it is fully submerged in the liquid.
What did archemedes discover about volume of a objects?
he discovered that volume of object immersed in water =volume of liquid displaced
What is displaced liquid?
What is displaced liquid mean in science terms?
What is true about the mass and volume of all floating objects?
The volume of liquid displaced has the same mass as the floating object.
How do you find mass if density and displacement are known?
Measure the amount of liquid that is displaced by the object in question (you will probably need a graduated cylinder). The amount of liquid displaced is the volume of the object. Then, since you have the volume of the object, you can find the mass of the object. Mass=Density x Volume.

How do you find displaced volume?
The amount of a liquid that is displaced by a solid = the volume of that solid. You could half fill a graduated cylinder. Drop something that sinks into the graduated cylinder to test its volume.
Does the boiling point of a liquid depend on the amount of the liquid and is it a characteristic property?
It doesn't matter how much of the liquid you have and it is a characteristic property.
What is a buoyan force?
I think you mean a buoyant force. When an object is submerged into a liquid, the liquid pushes up on the object with a force equal to the weight of the amount of fluid that is displaced.
How would you verify the Archimedes principle for objects that are less dense than the liquid?
Two ways to do this: 1) Floating the less dense object on the more dense liquid. To verify the Archimedes principle you need to show that the mass of the liquid displaced by the less dense object is equal to the mass of the less dense object. To do this you need to have a way to determine the mass of the displaced liquid. If the liquid is in a container filled to the brim, then when you place the less dense object in it, the displaced liquid will spill out over the edges of the container. If you can collect and weight that liquid, then you can compare its weight to the weight of the less dense object - they should match. Alternatively, you can find a way to measure the volume of the displaced liquid and calculate the mass from the volume and density of the displaced liquid. 2) Immerse the object completely in the liquid and measure the force required to keep it submerged. This one is more complicated and difficult to execute and measure. The force required to keep the less dense object submerged should be the difference between the weight of the object (when it is not in the liquid) and the weight of the displaced liquid.
Is the magnitude of buoyancy experienced by the objects constant for a particular liquid?
It depends on the objects' volume. Different objects that have the same volume, if submerged, experience the same buoyancy. The buoyancy is equal to the weight of the displaced liquit; in other words, volume (of submerged object, or of the submerged part) x density of the liquid x gravity.
What is the force that determines whether or not the object will float?
It it not about force. It is about Density. If a Solid object is denser than the liquid you place it in,it will sink . If it is less Dense than the liquid , it will float. All objects immersed in a liquid, experience an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid which is displaced.
