  1. No, we cannot determine the density of a porous solid by using a spring balance and a measuring cylinder because
    (a) the porous solid have a void space in the form of pores in it.
    (b) it will absorb some water.
    (c) absorption of water by the porous solid may affect the
    (i) change in its weight and
    (ii) volume of water displaced by it.
