Liquid Volume

Liquid Volume. Liquids take the shape of their container but have their own volume. Remember, volume is how much 3-dimensional space any object takes up. And liquids also have their own MASS (liquids are made of matter like everything else!).

  1. Liquid Volume

  2. Liquids take the shape of their container but have their own volume.

  3. Remember, volume is how much 3-dimensional space any object takes up.

  4. And liquids also have their own MASS (liquids are made of matter like everything else!)

  5. The standard metric unit of liquid volume is the LITER.

  6. The most accurate way to measure liquids is with a graduated cylinder.

  7. When reading volume, you look for the low point – the MENISCUS. Liquids tend to adhere to the sides of a container due to water tension.

  8. An important part of using a graduated cylinder is to notice what each line (increment) means. Each big line here is 1 mL while each little line is a ½ mL

  9. Four other containers we might use are the Beaker, Test tube, Erlenmeyer Flask and Boiling Flask. Boiling flask Erlenmeyer flask Beaker Test tubes

  10. Generally we will be measuring in units of milliliter (mL). That is 0.001 of a liter.
