I have no idea about the above answer, but it does not appear to answer the question.

The best way to find the mass of a given quantity of water is to use a balance to find the mass of an empty container. Then pour the water into the container and measure their combined mass. The difference between the two is the mass of the water.

Probably just one of the ways is to calculate the mass of an empty container.

Then, pour the water into the container and calculate the mass.

Then, subtract the empty container's mass from the mass when you put the water in.

There you have it. The mass of the water. TADA!

Multiply the volume of the water by its density. Water has a density of 1 kg per liter.

So, obviously, you cannot simply pour water onto a balance and weigh it. You'll need something to hold it in. Try a beaker.

Lets say that you want to find the mass of 100mL of water. Firstly, you'll need to weigh an empty beaker on a balance and record the mass. Next, pour 100mL of water into the beaker and weigh it again. Record the mass of beaker containing water.

So now you have the mass of the beaker and the mass of the beaker + water. You want to find the mass of just the water. Subtract the mass of the beaker from the mass of the beaker with water, and there you have it.

Example if you have 10.0ML of water then

The definition of a Kilogram (Kg) is 1 litre of pure water at room temperature.

Each cubic centimetre or millilitre (ml meaning 1000th of a litre) is therefore 1 gram.

The answer you need is 10 grams

Water has a density of 1 kilogram per liter. As such, it's quite simple to calculate the mass of water using the volume, translating liters directly to kilograms.

Water molecules are composed from hydrogen and oxygen. Their atomic masses are 1 and 16 respectively. The molecular mass of water is 2x1+16=18u.

The mass of water, as opposed to its density, depends on the quantity of water whose mass is being calculated.

How do you calculate the density of metal ball?

weight the metal ball first. then fill a graduated cylinder with water- it doesnt really matter how much, and put the metal ball in the water. measure how much the water level has increased by in mL. take the mass, and divide by the mL of water and then you get the density. ++ If it's an accurate sphere you can also measure its diameter and so calculate the volume, from which and the mass you can calculate the density.
