Density Measurement Using Hydrometer

This document describes a procedure for measuring the density of liquids using a hydrometer. It explains that a hydrometer works by floating in the liquid sample until it reaches equilibrium, and the point at which it floats corresponds to the density reading on its scale. The document provides the theory behind hydrometer operation and displacement methods for density measurement. It then lists the materials and step-by-step procedure for using a hydrometer to obtain density measurements of different liquid samples like acetone, benzene and water.

DENSITY MEASUREMENT
PRACTICAL:-
DENSITY MEASUREMENT

AIM:-
To measure the density of given liquid using hydrometer.

APPARATUS:-
Hydrometer.

MATERIAL/CHEMICAL:-
Given liquid sample.

THEORY:-
There are a variety of density measurement devices based on
displacement techniques.
A hydrometer is a constant weight variable immersion device. The degree
of immersel, when the weigh of the hydrometer equals the weight of displaced
liquid is a measure of the density. The hydrometer is adaptable to manual or
automatic usage.
A displacement float consist of a completely submerged float position as
in figure. The position of the float varies with the weight of the chain supported
by the buoyant.
Another modification includes a magnetic float suspended below a
solenoid. The varying magnetic field maintaining the float at a constant distance
from the solenoid constant distance change in position of the float resulting from
density change exists. An electrical system which increases or decreases the
current through the solenoid.

PROCEDURE:-
 Clean all the glass ware.
 Take sample in given beaker.
 Clean the hydrometer.
 Deep this hydrometer in given sample of beaker.
 Let it be steady for 5 minutes.
 Note down the reading where surface of liquid matches the scale of
hydrometer.
 Take the same procedure for different sample.
 Note down the reading.
 Clean all the glass ware & hydrometer.
RESULT:-
At room temperature acetone gm/ml
Benzene gm/ml
water gm/ml
OBSERVATION:-
Weight of beaker = ______gm.
