Density of liquids

Principle

The density of water and glycerol is determined as a function of temperature using the Mohr balance.

Benefits

• Mohr density balance enables high-precision measurements
• Interdisciplinary use also in applied sciences or physical chemistry

Tasks

The density of water and glycerol is measured in 1 to 2 °C steps over a temperature range from 0 to 20 °C, then in larger steps up to 50 °C.
