A hydrometer is an instrument used to check the relative density of a liquid ie, to see if one liquid is denser than another. This instrument rises and sinks in the liquid according to its density. Hydrometer will sink deeper in the less dense liquid but float higher in the denser liquid. Aim: Used to check the density of liquid. First, use a bit of plasticine at the end of the straw. Then, it will be like these. Furthermore, add some soil into the straw to add some weight. A simple homemade hydrometer is done. Then we should use it to test different density of liquid. We should prepare a marker pen to plot the level. Pour a glass of tap water into a beaker. After the beaker fill with water. Now vertically stand the straw in the tap water in such a way that the end with plasticine is below the water surface. Mark the height of the straw above water surface. Then, pour the tap water out and wipe dry inner of the beaker with tissue. Next, we use the homemade hydrometer test the density of beer. Pour a glass of beer into a beaker. Now vertically stand the straw in the beer in such a way that the end with plasticine is below the water surface. Mark the height of the straw above beer surface on the same straw. Next, let us test with cooking oil. Now vertically stand the straw in the cooking oil in such a way that the end with plasticine is below the water surface. Mark the height of the straw above cooking oil surface on the same straw. Generally, density of water is about 1,000.00 kg/m, density of cooking oil is less than water and density of beer always more than water. Therefore, the mark of cooking oil will be on top, the mark for water will be second and the mark for beer will be last. This is because the density of cooking oil is the lowest and the density of the beer is the highest in these three types liquid. In a nutshell, the density of cooking oil is the lowest because the hydrometer sink denser and the density of beer is the highest because the hydrometer float higher in these three types of liquid.
