Question

In which liquid will the hydrometer sink deeper?In Water or in Kerosene?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In low-density liquids such as kerosene, gasoline, and alcohol, the hydrometer will sink deeper, and in high-density liquids such as brine, milk, and acids it will not sink so far.

Answer 2

The hydrometer will sink deeper in "Kerosene" as compared to water. It is described below.

• A hydrometer will sink deeper in a liquid having less density in comparison to the one with higher density.
• Now, the two liquids given here are Water and Kerosene.
• We know that water has a density of 1000 kg/m³. On the other hand, the density of Kerosene is about 810 kg/m³.
• So we can see from above, that the water is denser than the Kerosene.
• Thus, the hydrometer will sink deeper in Kerosene, owing to the lower density of Kerosene as compared to water.
