    For example, we usually measure the volume of a liquid sample with pipettes, burets, graduated cylinders, and volumetric flasks (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)), whereas we usually measure the mass of a solid or liquid substance with a balance (Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\)).

    Despite different unit names, the main difference between the metric and customary system is volume. While Americans use ounces and pounds to describe weight, metric system users describe mass using the gram.

    The standard SI unit of volume is defined by the base unit of length (Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\)). The standard volume is a cubic meter (m 3 ) , a cube with an edge length of exactly one meter. To dispense a cubic meter of water, we could build a cubic box with edge lengths of exactly one meter.

    • The three basic units of the Metric System that will be used in this laboratory investigation are grams (mass), liters (volume), and meters (length). • Volume generally refers to how much of something (e.g. liquid, gas) a container can hold. • Mass refers to how much something weighs.
