The good news is that most liquids have a fairly uniform density, so calculating their mass from their volume is easy. One milliliter of water weighs one gram.
How do you scale without scales?
Gather some objects whose weights are known to you. Good household objects include hand weights. Or look to your kitchen, where packages of dry food are printed with weight measurements of their contents. You can also use containers of water (a gallon of water weighs 8.35 pounds).
Can you weigh ml on a scale?
Kitchen scales usually have milliliter and gram unit settings for different ingredients. Usually you would use milliliters for liquids (water, milk, oil, vinegar) while grams for solid stuff (flour, sugar, coffee, cocoa, butter, mushrooms, meat, you name it).
How do you measure water on a scale?
Re: Measuring water with a scale You only need to measure weight of whatever glass with water in it, pour that water into the pot you want to measure. And then measure again the weight of the glass. The difference corresponds to volume of the pot as density of water 1g/mL.23 sept 2011
Can you measure water on a kitchen scale?
Absolutely, you only need to put that liquid in a container ie., cup, glass, bowl, and tare the weight of that container so the scale only weighs the liquid within the container. As long as you don't confuse the two measures and you like doing extra math. 1 oz does not equal 1 fluid ounce.

Can liquid be weighed?
Liquids can be measured by weight and volume. As liquids have different densities , measurement by weight, say a kg of two different liquids with diffrent densities will vary in the amount weighed.
Can scales be used to measure volume?
Since a scale, by definition, measures the weight and not volume of things, you are right to wonder how your scale can show fluid ounces. ... One fluid ounce of water weighs 1.0425 ounces, so if you want to measure a cup of water, you can weigh out 1.0425 X 8 = 8.34 ounces by weight.18 ene 2016
Can you weigh liquid on digital scale?
You actually can weigh liquid on digital scales. First find a beaker, where you will put the liquid on. Put the empty beaker on the digital scale. Most digital scales have an option to kind of set the mass equal to the beaker's mass as kind of a reference mass, taking m=0 at this point.
Can you weight liquid in grams?
If you see grams, grab your scale. If you see milliliters, grab your liquid measuring cup. Another genius aspect of the metric system is that it is calibrated to water: so when you're measuring water or other liquids with a similar density (like milk or orange juice), 200 milliliters will weigh 200 grams.23 ene 2020
