The property being measured would be volume, and the metric unit used would be milliliters (ml). Graduated cylinders are commonly used to measure the volume of liquids in milliliters.
A liquid's volume is measured in a graduated cylinder, while a solid with a irregular shape must be measured by: 1. Filling a graduated cylinder of an appropriate size with water2. record the volume of the water3. submerge the solid completely in the water in the graduated cylinder4. record the new volume level of the water5. subtract the original volume level from the second volume level to determine the volume of the solid.
If the object is oddly or irregularly shaped, then it's much easier to measureits volume with the graduated cylinder than with the ruler. But the volumeis the same no matter how it's measured. If the results are not the same,then at least one and possibly both measurements were done wrong.
To find the density of a substance, you can use a tool called a balance to measure the mass of the substance, and a tool called a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of the substance. Density is then calculated by dividing the mass by the volume of the substance.
Density is typically measured using a device called a hydrometer or by using the formula density = mass/volume. Other methods include using a pycnometer, which is a specialized flask used for measuring volume, or a balance to measure mass.
No, mass and volume are measured using different processes and instruments. Mass is typically measured using a balance scale or electronic balance, while volume is measured using a graduated cylinder or a volumetric flask. They represent different properties of matter.
False. A graduated cylinder is used to measure volume, not mass. Mass is typically measured using a balance scale or other weight measuring devices.
For mass, you would use a triple-beam balance. For volume, you would either use a graduated cylinder (for liquids), calculate the displacement with a graduated cylinder (for an odd-shaped solid), or calculate it using the equation for volume (for a regularly-shaped solid).
No. You mesure volume with a graduated cylinder.

Properties of matter that can be measured using tools include mass (measured using a balance), volume (measured using a graduated cylinder), density (calculated using mass and volume), temperature (measured using a thermometer), and pressure (measured using a pressure gauge).
The volume of a liquid is what is measured in a graduated cylinder in milliliters.
The mass of an object is typically measured using a scale by comparing it with known weights. A balance also functions by comparing the mass of the object with known masses on the opposite side. A graduated cylinder is used for measuring volume, not mass. A thermometer measures temperature, not mass.

A volume can be measured in laboratory with a graduated cylinder or a graduated pipette.
A balance is used to measure the mass of an object by comparing it to known weights, while a graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid. The balance provides a quantitative measure of mass in grams, while the graduated cylinder provides a quantitative measure of volume in milliliters.
