Questions and Answers

What is the formula to calculate the specific gravity of the syrup?

  • Subtract the weight of the empty pycnometer from its weight filled with syrup, and divide the difference by the weight of distilled water contained at 25°C (correct)
  • Subtract the weight of the syrup from the weight of the pycnometer
  • Multiply the weight of the empty pycnometer with the weight of distilled water contained at 25°C
  • Divide the weight of the empty pycnometer by the weight of distilled water contained at 25°C
