n any given bulk exactly, that other methods haveto be resorted to. 331. If the solid sinks in water, weigh it first in air, andthen in water by means of a balance prepared for the pur-pose. Divide its weight in air by the weight it loses inwater, and the quotient will be its specific gravity. This… … THE HYDROM-ETER. How many grains of mercury will such a flask hold ? Of alcohol ? What, then, isthe specific gravity of mercury and alcohol ? 329. What instrument is used for ob-taining the specific gravity of liquids ? Describe the Hydrometer. How is the spe-cific gravity obtained with this…
