Density of an object is defined as mass per unit volume. Density - mass/volume (m/v) To find the density of a liquid using a graduated cylinder, you first of all take a measurement of the mass of the empty graduated cylinder (m1) and write it down. Lets say the mass is 0.5 kg (500 grams) Then fill the cylinder with the liquid that you want to find the density for and note down the volume (v). For easier calculation take 1 liter of the liquid. Now take a measurement of the mass of the cylinder with the liquid (m2) in it and write it down. Subtract the mass of the empty cylinder from the mass of the cylinder and liquid combined to get the mass of the liquid (m = m2 - m1). Now divide the result z by the volume (v) of the liquid. density = m/v

How to find the density of liquids?
To find the density of a liquid, you need to measure its mass and volume. The formula for density is density mass/volume. First, measure the mass of the liquid using a scale. Then, measure the volume of the liquid using a graduated cylinder. Finally, divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the liquid.
What tool to use to find density?
This depends upon the phase of the material whose density you wish to find. Fir an irregularly shaped solid, you would have to find the volume using a graduated cylinder (to measure how much liquid it displaces) and then weigh it on a scale (probably a triple beam balance). A regularly shaped solid would not require a graduated cylinder, you could just get its measurements with a ruler. A liquid could be measured using a graduated cylinder and a scale. A gas could have its density relative to that of the air measured by observing its buoyancy vs. weight measured in a balloon. That is a bit more complicated.
How is density of a liquid measured?
The density of a liquid can be measured with a beaker. the beaker is weighed alone, then a specific measured volume of the liquid is placed in the beaker and the beaker is reweighed. The difference between the beaker with and without the water is noted. from there the mass of the liquid for the specific volume is then known. using hte formula d = m/v, we can therefore determine the density. where m is in kg and v is in liters.
What does a 10 ml graduated cylinder measure?
A graduated cylinder is a type of glass container used in laboratories for measuring volume. A 10 mL graduated cylinder can only hold up to 10 mL of liquid.
If a cylinder of radius 2cm and height 4cm is submerged in a graduated cylinder of radius 3 cm containing a liquid By how much does the liquid rise?
I would say that the liquid rises by 1.77cm... This can be obtained as follows given that cylinder of radius(r)=2cm, height(h)=4cm is submerged in another cylinder, determining the volume of the cylinder being submerged =16*pi. When this cylinder is placed in another cylinder the liquid will rise by an amount which equals the volume of the cylinder being inserted.(By Archimedes principle). Using this 16*pi, determine the height using radius= 3cm , we get h=1.77cm
How can you find the density of an unknown liquid?
To find the density of an unknown liquid, you can measure its mass using a scale and then measure its volume by using a graduated cylinder or displacement method. Divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the liquid.
Can you use a erlenmeyer flask to calculate the density of a liquid?
You can, but the volume will not be as accurate as using a graduated cylinder, and will probably give you an inaccurate density.

Method to obtain density of liquid?
To obtain the density of a liquid, you would need to measure its mass and volume. The density is then calculated by dividing the mass of the liquid by its volume. Typically, this is done using a balance to measure mass and a graduated cylinder to measure volume.
What would you measure using a graduated cylinder?
The volume of a liquid.
Why use a graduated cylinder for 100ml of liquid?
A graduated cylinder is used for measuring liquid volumes accurately. By using a graduated cylinder, you can precisely measure out 100ml of liquid ensuring the correct volume is dispensed. The markings on the cylinder allow for easy reading and accurate measurement.
To explain one method that might be used to determine the density of a solid material and one method that might be used to determine the density of a liquid?
One method to determine the density of a solid material is to measure its mass using a balance and then measure its volume using a graduated cylinder or displacement method. Divide the mass by the volume to find the density. For a liquid, one method is to measure its mass using a balance and then measure its volume by using a graduated cylinder or a specific gravity bottle. Divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density.
How do you measure the volume of a liquid using a graduated cylinder?
To measure the volume of a liquid using a graduated cylinder, you simply pour the liquid into the cylinder and read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid. The volume is typically measured in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm).
How do you find the density of liquid?
Problem: You are given two unknown liquids. Find the density of each. Materials: 100ml graduated cylinder, triple beam balance, calculator, 2 unknown liquids. Procedure: 1) Find the mass of the empty graduated cylinder. 2) Pour unknown liquid #1 into the graduated cylinder to the 50 ml. level. 3) Find the mass of the graduated cylinder with 50ml of unknown liquid #1. 4) Repeat steps 1-3 for unknown liquid #2. We can calculate density of a liquid using the formula: Density= Mass/Volume where mass is that for just the liquid (you must subtract out the mass of the graduated cylinder). Now let's calculate the densities of the two liquids using the following given data. Liquid #1: Given: Mass of empty graduated cylinder = 78 grams Mass of graduated cylinder with unknown liquid #1= 128 grams. Find: a) Mass of just the liquid = ____ b) Volume of liquid=_____ c) Density of liquid #1 =____ Liquid #2: Given: Mass of empty graduated cylinder = 78 grams Mass of graduated cylinder with unknown liquid #2= 117.5 grams. Find: a) Mass of just the liquid = ____ b) Volume of liquid =_____ c) Density of liquid #2=____ Check your answers by inserting the value in the box below.
