Volume by Water Displacement
Volume Volume is defined as the amount of space taken up by a three-dimensional object (container). Note: 1 ml= 1 cm^3
Volume of Liquids Reading a Meniscus
Measuring Volume by Displacement Steps: Reading the initial water volume Submerge object into the water Read the final water volume Final vol – Initial vol Used for irregular shaped objects SLOWLY add the object to be measured: rubber stopper slug metal cylinder Read the new level of the water The water will rise an amount equal to the volume of the object
Do the math 1 . Original reading of volume Final volume of water This will equal the volume of the object 22.5 mL - 17.4 mL = 5.1 mL Therefore, the volume of the object by displacement is 5.1 mL
