Unit for the mass of a liquid | g-grams |
Unit for the volume of a solid | cubic cm |
Unit for the volume of a liquid | mL |
Unit for density of a solid | g/cubic cm |
Unit for the density of a liquid | g/mL |
Formula to determine the volume of a regularly shaped object | l x w x h |
What is the density of water? | 1 g/mL |
Counterweight | If the pointer on a triple beam balance is not straight, you would use this to adjust as needed. |
Overflow Can | The laboratory instrument used to find the volume of a large, irregularly shaped solid object. |
Triple Beam Balance | The laboratory instrument used to find the mass of both solids and liquids. |
Graduated Cylinder | The laboratory instrument used to find volume of a small, irregularly shaped solid object. |
Meniscus | The curve at the surface of a liquid. |
Density | The amount of matter (mass) in a given space (volume). |
Volume | The amount of space an object takes up |
Mass | The amount of matter in an object |
Matter | Anything that has mass and takes up space. |
Which is more precise for measuring out a liquid, a graduated cylinder or a beaker? | A graduated cylinder is more accurate because: - it is more narrow, and so easier to read the meniscus. - there are more graduations than those markings on a beaker |
