In the volume displacement method, we can see the volume of the liquid change when we add a solid object like a rock to the graduated cylinder. Do you think that the water displacement method will work for measuring the volume of a tablespoon of sugar? Explain.

a) Can the water displacement method be used to determine the volume of all irregularly shaped solids? Explain your answer of why or why not; b) If bubbles were found on the surface of your irregularly shaped solid, how would this affect your calculation of the density of the solid? Explain your answer be brief and specific.
