It is actually a means of finding the volume of an irregular shaped object. A graduated cylinder and a specific amount of water is used. Then the object is slid in. Water is measured and you figure out the difference of measures. Example: you start with 50 ml. than add the object. if it is now 25ml, the volume is 5

There is no simple formula for calculating the volume of something with an irregular shape. Instead, you can make use of a simple fact: two oblects cannot take up the same space at the same time. This method of measuring is called the DISPLACEMET METHOD.

The Liquid Displacement Method involves putting an object into a container filled with water. A measurement is then taken of how much volume of water has been displaced. This measurement can then be used to calculate the volume of the object displacing the water.

It is a process of determining the equivalent mass of an element mass of the metal required to displace 11200cm3 of hydrogen is the equivalent mass of that element.
