Can kerosene be used instead of water in volume displacement?
Yes, kerosene can be used instead of water in volume displacement experiments to accurately measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object. Kerosene has a known density, so by measuring the volume displaced by the object in kerosene, you can calculate its volume based on density. Just be careful with handling kerosene, as it is flammable and poses health risks.
