First, subtract the weight of the empty container from the total, so you're left

with just the weight of the liquid.

150 - 88.3 = 61.7 g

Then, divide the remaining weight by the density of the liquid to find the volume.

61.7 grams/0.758 grams per ml = 81.398416886543535620052770448549 ml

Since the numerator and denominator of the fraction have 3 significant digits

each, nothing past the 3rd significant digit in the quotient can be trusted. So

it should be rounded to 81.4 ml.

How do you find the density of a rectangular solid?

Since a liquid has no definite shape or form, it needs to be held in a container. Density = mass / volume So you need a container with graduated markings so that you can measure the volume of the liquid, also, you need the mass of the empty container. You will need to subtract the mass of the empty container from the total mass (liquid and container) to find the mass of the liquid.


If a bottle contains 3.360 ml of liquid and the total mass of the empty bottle and the liquid is 5.760 together the mass of the empty bottle is 4.570 gram What is the liquid density?

The mass of liquid is 5.760g - 4.570g = 1.190 grams. The volume is 3.360 millilitres. The density is mass/volume = 1.190g/3.360mL = 0.354166 ~ 0.3542gmL-1.


What do you use to measure the density of liquid?

density is mass / volume. pour the water into a measuring clyinder, weigh it on scales then minus the weight of the empty clyinder. Divide the mass by the volume and you'll get the density.


How can you find the density of a liquid using a graduated cylinder?

Density of an object is defined as mass per unit volume. Density - mass/volume (m/v) To find the density of a liquid using a graduated cylinder, you first of all take a measurement of the mass of the empty graduated cylinder (m1) and write it down. Lets say the mass is 0.5 kg (500 grams) Then fill the cylinder with the liquid that you want to find the density for and note down the volume (v). For easier calculation take 1 liter of the liquid. Now take a measurement of the mass of the cylinder with the liquid (m2) in it and write it down. Subtract the mass of the empty cylinder from the mass of the cylinder and liquid combined to get the mass of the liquid (m = m2 - m1). Now divide the result z by the volume (v) of the liquid. density = m/v


How do you measure the volume of irregualr liquid?

you use the water displacement method and then use the formula Vo=Vf-Vi (Volume of Object= Final Volume- Initial Volume) +++ You can't have an "irregular" liquid because liquids follow the shape of their containers. However, if you know the fluid's density, but the vessel is too awkward to measure accurately enough, you could weigh the empty and totally-full container to obtain the fluid's mass hence calculate its volume.


How do you find the density of liquid?

Problem: You are given two unknown liquids. Find the density of each. Materials: 100ml graduated cylinder, triple beam balance, calculator, 2 unknown liquids. Procedure: 1) Find the mass of the empty graduated cylinder. 2) Pour unknown liquid #1 into the graduated cylinder to the 50 ml. level. 3) Find the mass of the graduated cylinder with 50ml of unknown liquid #1. 4) Repeat steps 1-3 for unknown liquid #2. We can calculate density of a liquid using the formula: Density= Mass/Volume where mass is that for just the liquid (you must subtract out the mass of the graduated cylinder). Now let's calculate the densities of the two liquids using the following given data. Liquid #1: Given: Mass of empty graduated cylinder = 78 grams Mass of graduated cylinder with unknown liquid #1= 128 grams. Find: a) Mass of just the liquid = ____ b) Volume of liquid=_____ c) Density of liquid #1 =____ Liquid #2: Given: Mass of empty graduated cylinder = 78 grams Mass of graduated cylinder with unknown liquid #2= 117.5 grams. Find: a) Mass of just the liquid = ____ b) Volume of liquid =_____ c) Density of liquid #2=____ Check your answers by inserting the value in the box below.

Can the amount of empty space change in a liquid?

This question doesn't make sense on it's own, it needs more context to actually be answered.


Can a pan balance measure the temperature that water freezes?

No a balance can not measure volume however it does measure mass. You can find the volume by using the balance to find the mass of what ever you want then if you know the density of the thing then you simply divide the mass by the density.


Give the formula for density?

To check density of any liquid , measure liquid & water in same quantity at same temperature & divide liquid weight by weight of water which gives density of liquid at that temperature.Exa. If you want to measure density of alcohol , take it in pre-weighted 10 ml cylinder & weight by using any suitable balance ( like mettller balance) note the reading as A. after that weight 10 ml water in same cylinder after rinsing & measure the weight as reading B. To get the actual weight of liquid & water subtract the empty & dry cylinder's weight-. Now calculated as under-Density of liquid= A-C/ B-C.By- S.Joshi


Why does a container with no liquid or solid not be empty?

It has air inside and other substances which we cannot see with our naked eye. Air is matter so unless the container is a vacuum it will not be empty.


Why do you need to measure the mass of a empty graduated cylinder first?

What you really need to know is the mass of the liquid. You'll most likely measure itby weighing the liquid when it's in the container. The weight you measure will includethe weight of the container, and you'll have to subtract that away in order to knowthe weight of the liquid alone.If you can figure out a way to weigh the liquid when it's out of the container, thenyou'll never need to do anything about the mass of the container, not even measure it.
