Which of the following expressions defines the Baume gravity scale for liquids lighter than water ?

Correct answer: A. °Be = (140/G) - 130

  • A. °Be = (140/G) - 130
  • B. °Be = 200(G-1)
  • C. °Be = 145 - (145/G)
  • D. °Be = (400/G) - 400

Explanation

For liquids lighter than water, the specific gravity G is less than one, so the Baumé relation is °Be = 140/G − 130. The expression 145 − 145/G is used for liquids heavier than water.
