an equivalent volume ofwater; divide the weight of the corrected volume of air bythat of an equivalent volume of distilled water, and thequotient will be the specific gravity sought. To determine the Specific Gravity of a Gas. 165. Take a glass globe of suitable dimensions, fittedwith a stop-cock… … MECHANICS OF LIQUIDS. 257 and the specific gravity of air, the weight of the containedair can be computed; subtract this from the previousweight, and we shall have the true weight of the globealone; determine in succession the weights of the globefilled with water and with the gas in vacuum, and…
