It is called a hydrometer.
Also, density equals mass divided by volume.
See the Related Questions to the left for more information about hydrometer and density.
yup
a Hydrometer is used to measure the density of a solution, by the use of a scaled float. typically it is used for battery acid.
A volumetric flask is usually used; it is the most accurate instrument for liquid volume measure, and since titrations are highly quantitative, it's the best choice.
Yes. Hence the name "Battery ACID"
To calculate the density of citric acid, you need to know its mass and volume. Measure the mass of a given amount of citric acid using a balance. Then, measure the volume by either carefully pouring it into a graduated cylinder or by performing a displacement method. Finally, divide the mass of citric acid by its volume to calculate the density, typically expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
Based on the fact that battery acid is an acid, not a base, I would say lye. If you are asking which is farther from neutral at 7, they are equal, since lye is 1 and battery acid is a 13.
An instrument for measuring the Density of a liquid. The density of the Acid in a car Battery, changes as the stored electrici charge in the battery, is used to power things. A Hydrometer is commonly used to measure the Acid Density in Lead/Acid car batteries. The result of the Hydrometer reading let's you know how much electric charge is left in the battery. It is most commonly used to find out whether or not, the battery is old and depleted, or still in good condition. Go to Wikipedia to find out what a Hydrometer looks like.

No.AnswerPresumably, you mean 'specific gravity' or, as it is known these days, 'relative density'? If so, the relative density of a lead-acid cell or battery is, indeed, a guide to that battery's state of charge -that's why we use a hydrometer to check the condition of a lead-acid battery. However, it would be wrong to say that the relative density of a lead-acid battery 'effects' the voltage -it merely is a guide to the state of charge. (Actually, it's the state of a battery's charge that affects its relative density.)
The instrument used to measure the density of a liquid is a hydrometer. These are often made for specific purposes, because the density of a given liquid may not vary much. Milk hydrometers are used to estimate the creaminess of raw milk. A battery hydrometer is used on your car battery, for the density of the sulphuric acid varies with the amount of lead dissolved, which indicates the state to which the battery is charged.
With a hydrometer which you can buy at any auto parts store.
A hydrometer is an instrument that measures the density of liquids. Auto batteries could be checked to see the strength of the acid in each cell before sealed batteries were made. I don't know of an instrument for solids or gases.
The electrolyte in a car battery is sulfuric acid, diluted with water. The density of the acid when fully charged is 1.265g/cm3. The chemical process, as the battery is discharged, makes the acid weaker and it becomes less dense. Down to 1.120g/cm3 when below 11volts.Checking the acid density will give you an idea of the state of charge.There are 6 cells in a 12v car battery. The charge of each cell should be the same. If the density is significantly different between cells, then that would indicate a fault in that cell and the battery is useless. Faulty cells may have distorted and shorted plates which would stop it being charged and show up with a different density than the other cells.
Car or automotive battery acid is 30-50% sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in water. Usually the acid has a mole fraction of 29%-32% sulfuric acid, density of 1.25-1.28 kg/L and concentration of 4.2-5 mol/L. Battery acid has a pH of approximately 0.8.
I think it is beaker or measuring cylinder.
A battery acid is a variety of acid used as an electrolyte in a battery - usually sulphuric acid.
sulphuric acid
well, im lazy so I won't do it for you, but the equation to find that out is D=m/v ( Density equals mass divided by volume)
