your science teacher hands you a small container filled with an unknown liquid substance. he asks you to measure the mass of the
liquid. what lab equipment will you use and how will you calculate the mass of just the liquid? be sure to describe the process you would follow step-by-step.
we are asked in this problem to determine the mass of a liquid in a small container. In order to determine the mass, we use an analytical balance for greater accuracy by first weighing the whole system (liquid+beaker). Then transfer the liquid to another container and completely dry the beaker (wash and dry). measure the weight of the beaker. The mass of the liquid is equal to the mass of the system minus the mass of the beaker.
