∙ 13y agoThe volume of a liquid can be calculated by using a measuring cylinder. The volume of a solid can be calculated by displacement, ie. if you have a 100 mL measuring cylinder with 25 mL of liquid in it, then you place the solid inside and the volume goes up to 45 mL, the volume of the solid is 45 - 25 = 20 mL.

How is liquid volume determined?
By measuring it in a measuring cylinder or beaker or some container of a known volume.
What is a unit for measuring the volume of a liquid?
litre
What equipment do you use to accurately measure liquid?
a gratuated cylinder in which you measure the volume of a liquid(volume same as mass)
When is cm3 the preferred unit to use for volume?
When You are measuring the volume of an object(not liquid)
What is the best apparatus for accurately measuring the volume of a liquid?
hydrometer
Explain How the process of measuring a liquid's volume differs from the process of measuring a solid volume?
the size of its head

Explain the different processes in measuring the volume of a liquid and measuring the volume of a rectangular solid.?
You can measure the volume of a liquid by pouring it into a container with scale markings - measuring cup or graduated cylinder. The volume of a solid shape can be calculated by a geometric formula. If the shape is irregular, the volume can be found by displacement of a liquid. See the related link for a famous story!
What is the main advantage of using pipette in measuring the volume of liquid?
The main disadvantage of using a pipet in measuring the volume of a liquid is that you cannot dispense large quantities.
Liquid volume should be measured in what?
with measuring tools
What instrument will find liquid volume?
A measuring cup.
What is a measuring cylender used for?
To measure volume of a liquid.
What equipment do you use to accurately measure liquid?
a gratuated cylinder in which you measure the volume of a liquid(volume same as mass)
Which device is used to determine the volume of a liquid?
The answer depends on the quantity of liquid. A graduated cylinder will not be much use in measuring the volume of liquid in an ocean!
How are a cylinder and a different?
They are two different ways of measuring. A balance measures weight (or technically, mass) while a graduated cylinder measures liquid volume.
How do you determine the volume of a colorless liquid?
You pour it into a measuring jug and see where the top of the liquid comes up to on the jug's measuring scale.
