Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which instrument is used to determine the density and coefficient of expansion of liquids?
A
Periscope
B
Polygraph
C
Pykometer
D
Photometer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Usually a hydrometer, pycnometer, or digital density meter is used for the determination in all these standards.

Detailed explanation-2: -hydrometer, device for measuring some characteristics of a liquid, such as its density (weight per unit volume) or specific gravity (weight per unit volume compared with water).

Detailed explanation-3: -The powder is added to the pycnometer, which is then weighed, giving the weight of the powder sample. The pycnometer is then filled with a liquid of known density, in which the powder is completely insoluble. The weight of the displaced liquid can then be determined, and thence the specific gravity of the powder.
