Would you use a scale to measure capacity?

It could be used to measure capacity. For example, weigh an empty container. Then fill the container with water and weigh it again. Take the difference in weight. Divide by the density of water. This will give you the capacity of the container.


Weighing by difference?

I'm not sure what you mean, but weighing by difference is when you:Take the weight of an empty container, fill the container with a substance.Take the weight of the container holding the substance.Subtract the empty container's mass from the mass of the container and the substance.You will then get the mass of the substance.The result is what is called the "Tare" weight. That is the weight of the contents ONLY .And that would not be the mass of the substance,,,it would be the weight. Mass is a determination of how much space is taken up by the substance.


How would you measure the mass of 100 ml of water?

Find the mass of an empty container using a balance. Fill the container with 100 ml of water and measure the mass again, The difference between the two measurements is the mass of 100 ml of water.


Efficiency of packing of object of different shapes?

The efficiency of packing of objects relies on the shape of the objects. There are two factors to take into account: empty space between objects (which cannot be avoided due to the object shape) and empty space around the outside of the objects and the packing container.


How can you use a 3-qt pail and a 5-qt pail to measure out 1 qt of water?

-- Fill the 3. -- Empty it into the 5. Now the 5 has 3-qt of water in it, and 2-qt of empty space. -- Fill the 3 again. -- Use the full 3 to fill the remaining 2-qt of empty space in the 5. -- That leaves 1-qt of water in the 3.

Can an oxygen can be half empty?

Gases expand to fill the container that they are in. If you had a tank of oxygen and let half of it out, you would have half the amount of oxygen you started with. However, since the half of the oxygen that remained spread out to fill the container, there won't be empty space.
