on, from whicha more accurate result can be had than from a single obser-vation. To determine the Specific Gravity of a Soluble Body. 163. Find its specific gravity by the method alreadygiven, with respect to some liquid in which it is not soluble,and find also the specific gravity of this liquid… … and this is n times heavier than an equivalent volume ofwater, it follows that the body is mn times heavier than itsvolume of water, whence the rule. The auxiliary liquid, in some cases, might be a saturated solu-tion of the given body in water ; the rule remains unchanged. To determine the…
