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.

Question

You would use a balance. You can measure the mass of the container and the substance. Then transfer the substance to another container and measure the mass of the empty container.

Subtract the mass of the empty container from the total mass and you get the mass of the substance.
