The displacement method for measuring volume:

( It has more that one answer FYI)

A- Is not always accurate
B- Can only be used to measure the volume of solids
C- May yield incorrect results if the matter is soluble in liquid
D- Is the most precise way to measure the volume of a gas

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that to measure the volume of regular or irregular solids we can put the solid into a liquid. And then, the volume of liquid displaced will be equal to the volume of irregular solid.

Also, we can measure the volume of a gas with the help of displacement.

For example, in a syringe the volume of gas displaced will be equal to the volume occupied by the fluid.

If a matter is soluble in liquid, then we cannot measure its correct volume.

Therefore, we can conclude that the displacement method for measuring volume:

  • Can only be used to measure the volume of solids.
  • Is the most precise way to measure the volume of a gas.
