Why is water displacement an effective way of measuring the volume of an irregular solid?

Explanation:

As it is known that volume of an irregular object cannot be measured because we cannot measure the volume of a curve.

As a result, if we immerse an irregular solid object into a beaker or container filled with water then the volume of water displaced by the object will be equal to the volume of object itself.

Hence, we get to know the volume of irregular solid object by doing so that is why, water displacement is an effective way of measuring the volume of an irregular solid.

Water displamement is effective because there is no way to get an exact and accurate measurement of an irregular solid because you can't measure curved line. Water displamement gives you a proper, exact, and accurate answer.

Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Most reagent forms are going to absorb water from the air; they're called "hygroscopic".  Water presence can have a drastic impact on the experiment being performed  For fact, it increases the reagent's molecular weight, meaning that anything involving a very specific molarity (the amount of molecules in the final solution) will not function properly.

Heating will help to eliminate water, although some chemicals don't react well to heat, so it shouldn't be used for all.  A dessicated environment is simply a means to  "dry."  That allows the reagent with little water in the air to attach with.

Which contains more molecules; a mole of Chlorine gas (Cl2 ) or a mole of glucose (C6H1206) ?
Elodia [21]
This is a tricky question. a mole of any compound contains the same number of molecules of that certain compound. so, one mole of chlorine gas has the same number of molecules as one mole of glucose, which is 6.02 x 10^23.

this is avogadro's number and it applies for any mole of molecules. 

the question is tricky because it is like asking. " what weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks?" the both weigh the same, a pound. when ewe talking about moles, same as pounds, it is a quantity unit. one mole will aways be equal to 6.02 x 10^23 molecules.
