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.
Learning objectives
- Hydrogen bond
- Water anomaly
