The alcohol content of an aqueous solution may be deduced from a determination of the specific gravity of the solution or directly by the Alcoholometer.
The amount of alcohol present in any alcoholic beverage cannot be obtained directly, but if 1/3 of the liquid be distilled and the distillate made up to the original volume, then the alcohol may be determined by the Alcoholometer.
Before using it as an alcoholometer, it is set, with its bulb immersed, in a small metallic boiler (brass or copper) containing distilled water, which is then raised to the boiling-point, and the 212° of the scale accurately adjusted on a level with the surface of the mercury, should it vary from that point.
And accordingly, the specific gravities for the common form of the tables will be had by the proportion—— _As the whole weight of the hydrometer and its load, when adjusted in distilled water_, is to the _number_ 1000, so is the _whole weight when adjusted in any other fluid, to the number expressing its specific gravity._ GAY-LUSSAC’S ALCOHOLOMETER is used to determine the strength of spirituous liquors.
