Which of the following expressions defines the Baume gravity scale for liquids heavier than water ?
Correct answer: B. 145 - (145/G)
- A. (141.5/G) - 131.5
- B. 145 - (145/G)
- C. 200 (G-1)
- D. (400/G) - 400
Explanation
For liquids heavier than water, the Baumé scale is defined as 145 − 145/G, where G is the specific gravity. The alternative expression 141.5/G − 131.5 applies to the lighter-than-water scale.
