Q4 of 16 Page 26

Using a hydrometer find out adulterated liquids.

We can measure the relative density of a given liquid using a hydrometer. If there is a difference in density from the known standard value, the liquid must be adulterated. Hydrometers are calibrated for different uses, such as a lactometer for measuring the density (creaminess) of milk, a saccharometer for measuring the density of sugar in a liquid, or an alcoholometer for measuring higher levels of alcohol in spirits.
