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

What is the concentration of 5 Baume HCl?

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 ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance in a vacuum at a given temperature to the weight of an equal volume of water in a vacuum at a given temperature is known as?

This ratio is called the specific gravity.


What is the specific gravity of bohrium?

The specific gravity of bohrium is not typically measured because it is a synthetic element and only small amounts have been produced in laboratories for research purposes.


What is titration technique?

Titration is a laboratory technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration. A burette is used to carefully add the known solution to the unknown solution until a chemical reaction reaches completion, indicated by a color change or other observable signal. The volume of the known solution added is used to calculate the concentration of the unknown solution.

How do you calculate volume with specific gravity and mass?

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 property which compares the density of a substance with that of water is known as its?

"Specific gravity" or "specific density"

How does tritation work?

Titration is a technique used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration. A burette is used to carefully add the titrant (known solution) to the analyte (unknown solution) until the reaction reaches a specific endpoint, indicated by a color change or another observable change. The volume of titrant added is used to calculate the concentration of the analyte.

How do you calculate the concentration of a salt solution with known conductivity?

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.


How do you measure specific gravity of sand?

Determine the density of the sand. Determine the mass of the sand, and it's volume. Divide the mass by the volume and that gives you density. Then divide the sand's density by the density of water. That will give you the specific gravity of the sand. Because you divide densities, the units cancel out, and specific gravity does not have any units. For example, you determine the density of the sand to be 10g/cm3, and the density of pure water is known to be 1g/cm3. Divide 10g/cm3 by 1g/cm3. The g/cm3 cancel, and you are left with just the number 10. So in this example the specific gravity of sand is 10.


What is a specific gravity meter?

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.
