Answer to Question #272227 in Physical Chemistry for Dolphy

Question

1. Search the web and enumerate steps how to measure the volume of the following:

a. A liquid

b. A cube

c. An irregularly shaped object

Answer 1

a) Liquid volume is usually measured using either a graduated cylinder or a buret.

b) Volume of a cube = s3

c) If an object has an irregular shape, its volume can be measured by submerging it in a measuring cylinder partly filled with water. The increase in the level of the water indicates the amount of water displaced, and therefore the volume of the submerged object.
