How will you determine the volume of liquid?
Subtract the weight of the container to get the weight of the liquid. Look up or calculate the density of the liquid, then determine the volume of the liquid by dividing the mass of the liquid by the density.
How do you measure a liquid in chemistry?
The volume of a liquid can be directly measured with specialized glassware, typically in units of milliliters (mL) or liters (L). In this lab, a beaker, two graduated cylinders and a burette will be used to measure liquid volumes, and their precision will be compared.
What do we measure with a measuring cylinder?
A graduated cylinder, also known as a measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the graduated cylinder represents the amount of liquid that has been measured.
How do you calculate the volume?
The formula for the volume of a rectangular solid is Volume = length * width * height, or V = lwh.
How do you find the volume of a water tank?
For a rectangular tank: To find the capacity of a rectangular or square tank: Multiply length (L) by width (W) to get area (A). Multiply area by height (H) to get volume (V). Multiply volume by 7.48 gallons per cubic foot to get capacity (C).
What is the volume of the liquid in the graduated cylinder?
Graduated cylinders commonly range in size from 5 mL to 500 mL. Some can even hold volumes of more than a liter.
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder?
To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you must know its height and the radius of the circular base (the distance from the center of the circle to its edge) at the top and bottom. The formula is V = πr2h, where V is the Volume, r is the radius of the circular base, h is the height, and π is the constant pi.
What is the formula to calculate the volume of a liquid?
Look up or calculate the density of the liquid, then determine the volume of the liquid by dividing the mass of the liquid by the density. ∂ = M/V so V = M/∂. Make sure to express density in units compatible with the mass.
How do you calculate fluid volume in a cylindrical container?
Compute the volume of a fluid within a horizontal tank of a cylindrical shape. The volume of a fluid is calculated based on the depth of fluid ( h) within the tank, and the radius ( r) and length ( L) of the tank itself. The depth of fluid h can vary between zero (an empty tank) and the tank diameter 2×r (the full tank).
What is the exact volume of the cylinder?
The volume of the cylinder is based on the formula: Volume = base * height where base is the circular shapebase area is equal to pi r^2. radius in this case is 3 inches and height is 6 inches. Hence the volume is pi * 3^2 *6 or equal to 54 pi.
