Question
What is a density bottle? How is it used to find the density of a liquid?
Solution
DENSITY bottle is a small glass bottle having a glass stopper at its neck. The bottle can store a fixed volume of a liquid. Generally, the volume of the bottle is 25 ml or 50 ml. The stopper has a narrow hole through it. When the bottle is filled with liquid and stopper is inserted, the excess liquid rises through the hole and drains out. Thus the bottle will contain the same volume of liquid each time when it is filled. It is used to determine the density of a liquid.
