How would you properly measure the mass of a liquid?

Asked by maxkortsch21

Answer (3)

You can consider the density of the water. Thus, in order to properly measure the mass of a liquid, we can first get the volume and density of the liquid material or substance.
We can firstly utilize the formula to get the mass from deriving the set formula of density to mass:
Since density is mass over the volume,
1. D=m/v
2. We can transmute the formula to m = dv
3. Mass is density times the volume

To measure the mass of a liquid, use a balance to determine the mass of an empty container and then the mass of the container with the liquid, subtracting the former from the latter to get the liquid's mass.
How to Measure the Mass of a Liquid
To accurately measure the mass of a liquid, you can follow these steps:

Measure and record the mass of an empty container using a balance.
Measure an amount of liquid using a volume measuring device like a graduated cylinder and pour the liquid into the container from step 1.
Record the mass of the container holding the liquid.

To find the mass of just the liquid, subtract the mass of the empty container from the mass of the container with the liquid. The result is the mass of the liquid alone. This method is commonly used when calibrating volume-measuring devices, utilizing a liquid with a well-known density such as water.

To measure the mass of a liquid, first weigh the empty container, then add the liquid and weigh again. Subtract the container's mass from the total mass to find the liquid's mass. You can verify using the known density of the liquid.
