Liters or milliliters are commonly used to measure liquids when comparing volume, as they provide more accurate measurements than other units like gallons or cups. Liters are used for larger volumes, while milliliters are used for smaller volumes.
volume
To measure the volume of irregularly shaped rocks, you can use the water displacement method. Submerge the rock in a container of water and measure the change in water volume as the rock displaces the water. The difference in water volume before and after submerging the rock will give you the volume of the rock.
The best unit of measure to measure five books would be "books" itself. Books are typically counted individually rather than measured in terms of length, weight, or volume.
A volumetric flask is usually used; it is the most accurate instrument for liquid volume measure, and since titrations are highly quantitative, it's the best choice.
You can use a graduated cylinder or a measuring cup filled with water to determine the combined volume of three small rocks. Simply measure the initial water level, then add the rocks and measure the new water level for the volume displaced, which represents the combined volume of the rocks.
