Salinometer
How can i use the word hydrometer in a sentence?
Mrs.Tuft used a hydrometer to determine the specific gravity of a liquid
Who discovered or invented the hydrometer?
The Greek scholar Hypatia of Alexandria is credited with inventing the hydrometer in the late fourth or early fifth century.
What is an alcoholometer?
An alcoholometer is a hydrometer used to measure the amount of alcohol in a liquid, such as beer.
Does a hydrometer measure density?
Hydrometer is the apparatus measuring relative density of the liquid subject in related to water. The output from measurement after multiplied with water density then would give the density.
Is hydrometer a weather instrument?
Yes it is.as the barometer calculates the temperature so their working together''according RICHARD pinciple''
How does calculated specific gravity compare to the hydrometer reading for the liquid?
The calculated specific gravity may be slightly different than the hydrometer reading. The calculated gravity is calculated using specific data while the hydrometer measures the liquid at a specific time and temperature.
How does the calculated specific gravity compare to the hydrometer reading for each liquid?
The calculated specific gravity may be slightly different than the hydrometer reading. The calculated gravity is calculated using specific data while the hydrometer measures the liquid at a specific time and temperature.
An aneroid barometer is different from a mercury barometer in that it does not contain?
Mercury
What is the difference between Mercury barometer and a aneroid barometer?
their spelling is different.
What is the difference between the aneroid barometer and a mercury barometer?
their spelling is different.
Will hydrometer float higher in fresh air or salt water and why?
In salt water because a hydrometer sinks deeper if the liquid is less dense than water, The hydrometer floats higher if the liquid is denser than water.
Why the pycnometer method more accurate than the hydrometer method?
The pycnometer method is more accurate than the hydrometer method because it uses an analytical balance.
Why would a water barometer have to be 13.6 times taller than a mercury barometer?
A barometer using water,would need to be 13.6 times taller than a mercury barometer to obtain the same pressure difference. This is because mercury is 13.6 times more dense than water.
What does a hydrometer measure?
Hydrometer measure the density of liquids.
Why is the hydrometer used to find density?
A hydrometer can be used to find the specific gravity (relative density) of a liquid by determining how much water it will displace. Various calibrations are used for different kinds of liquids.
How does a hydrometer measure density?
It measured by the density of the size from the hydrometer.
