How can you find the volume of a small rock using only water and either a measuring cup or a graduated cylinder?
Fill the cylinder with water to a marked point. Then place the rock in the water and measure how much the water level rises. That will give you the amount of volume displaced by the rock and so the volume of the rock.
What is the formula for measuring volume and mass in irregular shapes?
There is no formula for measuring the volume of irregular shapes. The mass can be measured by using a weighing scale.
What is the formula to find the volume for cylinder by using diameter?
The diameter, alone, is not enough to find the volume of a cylinder. You need the height as well. > Where pi = 3.1416, and d = cylinder diameter cylinder volume = pi * (d/2)2 * length of cylinder
How do I find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder?
To determine the volume of an irregular object using graduated cylinders, you fill a graduated cylinder with water right to the top, then submerge the object in the water. Measure the water that overflows using a second graduated cylinder, and read the water level in it in cc's or cubic inches. That is the object's volume.
How does this measuring volume by difference method compare with measuring volume using math for these odd shaped objects?
cause it is way more simple and it takes way less time
How will you find the volume of stone using measuring cylinder?
The volume of the stone is measured by displacement. Water is put into the measuring cylinder to a noted mark. The stone is placed in the cylinder and the water level will rise. The difference between the two levels is the volume in ml of the stone.
Using a 10ml graduated cylinder you can read to the what place?
Using a 10 ML graduated cylinder you can read 2 decimal places. This is also measuring volume.
What could you measure using a measuring cylinder?
Volume of liquids. You could also use it to measure the volume of small solids using the displacement-of-fluid method.
How the process of measuring the volume of a liquid different from the process of measuring the volume of a solid?
Because liquid and solid are two different things
How would you measure a liquid chemical?
using measuring cylinder (if the volume is large) using syringe / needle (if the volume to measure is very small, below 2 ml)
How do you calculate the bulk density of pellets?
Mass divided by volume. Weigh the pellets to find the mass, then add the pellets to a measuring cylinder of water (or something of higher density than your pellets) and find the volume using the rise of water in the measuring cylinder
Why can you use the technique of measuring volume as a mean of volume?
It depends on the experiment. In one particular experiment, using the technique of measuring volume as a means of counting will work. Think of measuring volume; a tablespoon of sugar or salt. When measuring the volume of it, we are measuring how much space it takes up. This can also be a means of counting because once the molar mass of each element is accounted for, the number of moles (counting!) can be calculated.
How will the result be affected by the wet graduated cylinder?
Using a wet graduated cylinder would introduce a source of error in measuring the volume of a liquid, as the presence of water could affect the accuracy of the measurement. The water might cling to the inner surface of the cylinder, altering the volume reading. It is recommended to ensure that the graduated cylinder is dry before measuring the volume of a liquid to minimize potential errors.
What tool you use to measure volume of solids?
A common tool used to measure the volume of solids is a graduated cylinder or a beaker for regularly shaped solids. For irregularly shaped solids, displacement method using a measuring cylinder and water can be used to find the volume.
What is a measuring cylinder used for?
It is to measure liquids to specific amounts to be used in the scientific experiments. Sometimes called a graduated cylinder usually ruled with lines at each millilter or fraction thereof. A more common example would be a measuring cup ruled or marked in fractions of a cup though not all measuring cups have circular cross-sections.
How a cylinder is used in science?
Well, that depends on what cylinder you are using. For example, a graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid, the measure of a solid by displacement, or for measuring quantities of volumes to be added into a mixture or chemical reaction.
How can you measure of volume of a stone by using an overflow can?
The water displaced by the stone is directly proportional to its volume
