The materials we are given are : 1 ml pipette, test tubes, graduated cylinders, beakers, analytical balance, NaCl solid, silver nitrate solution ( unknown concentration ), distilled water, potassium chromate solution ( unknown concentration, and sea water samples with unknown concentrations.

Graduated cylinders are calibrated either to contain ( indicated liquid volume inside the cylinder ) and marked as " TC " or to deliver ( indicated liquid volume poured out, accounting for liquid traces left in the cylinder ) and marked TD.

:: : As to why not always use pounds, I suppose you could, but it's generally easier to measure liquid by volume, as all you need is a graduated cylinder, not a precise balance scale . talk ) 06 : 05, 29 December 2014 ( UTC)

I H N traditional graduated cylinder ( A in the image ) is usually narrow and tall so as to increase the accuracy and precision of volume measurement; it has a plastic or glass bottom and a " spout " for easy pouring of the measured liquid.

:: : : : : : In that case, I'd think one of the easiest ways would be to find the density by carefully weighing the unknown things and then finding the volume by measuring the displacement in a graduated cylinder or something like it and comparing that to the density of diamond, which is about 3.5 3.53 g / cm 3.
