Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measurement of the dissolved sugar-to-water mass ratio of a liquid. It is measured with a saccharimeter that measures specific gravity of a liquid or more easily with a refractometer. A 25 °Bx solution is 25% (w/w), with 25 grams of sugar per 100 grams of solution. Or, to put it another way, there are 25 grams of sucrose sugar and 75 grams of water in the 100 grams of solution. http://www.fermsoft.com/gravbrix.php
The Baumé scale does not directly measure the concentration of a solution. For example, to determine the concentration of nitric acid from a hydrometer reading, you would need to determine the specific gravity and then utilize a table of known specific gravity values for nitric acid at known concentrations. Using the formula to convert ºBaumé to specific gravity: specific gravity = 145/(145-ºBaumé) you get a specific gravity of 1.0357 for a 5ºBaumé reading on your hydrometer. Then you can go to a table of values, such as the one in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry & Physics (mine is 60th Ed., page D-240) for a table that has various concentration values for specific gravity values. In this case, the closest value of specific gravity to 1.0357 is 1.0352, which corresponds to a 7.50 wt% or a 2.129M HCl solution. Hope this helps!
The density of bohrium is not known.
This ratio is called the specific gravity.
- The specific weight is the weight of a known volume of material at a given temperature and pressure; the unit of measure is kN/m3. - But if you think to relative density: Relative density (specific gravity) is the ratio between the density of the material to be tested and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure; consequently no unit of measure for this ratio.
Standardization is a term that can be used in many fields. A chemist would use standardization when trying to figure out the concentration of an unknown solution. They need to know the specific concentration of one of the solutions so they can calculate the other unknown concentration. Many acid-base reactions use this technique. They perform a series of repeatable tests with a third chemical solution that never varies in concentration. They can then calculate the one concentration and use it in their experiment to determine the other concentration. This set of tests is known as standardization of a solution.
An abstract, esoteric mathematical operation known as "division." Divide mass by density, and you get volume. A note for purists: Technically speaking, specific gravity is not density, it is a ratio of densities. However, since one of the materials in the ratio is water, and its density is well known, it's easy to calculate the density of a material from its specific gravity.

The specific gravity of a substance is the ration of its density to some standard, almost always water for liquids or solids. In this case, Feldspar has a specific gravity of about 2.6.
Dissolve a known amount of potassium permanganate in a known volume of demineralized water; calculate the concentration of manganese in the solution.
Can only be done if the material or liquid involved is known or the specific gravity is known
There are a few different ways you could calculate the concentration of a salt solution with known conductivity. You could compare this amount of salt with pure water for example and take notes on the differences.
You can calculate the cu.ft. volume if the oddity of the oddly shape is dimensionally defined to some reference point. Is it bulged, six-sided, concave or what? Otherwise just fill it with a liquid of known specific gravity and weigh the added difference (leak-proof it firstly). In this case volume will be = weight difference divided by specific gravity.
This ratio is called the specific gravity.
Known as a hygrometer. May be as simple as a few beads of differing specific gravity in a glass tube with a rubber bulb on top or a complex electronic device that determines specific gravity through measurement of other characteristics. A battery hygrometer uses floating beads to determine the charge of a lead acid battery because the specific gravity of the electrolyte will vary for a given state of charge.
