Hope’s Apparatus - code: 4210.10

Hope’s Apparatus is the simplest way to verify maximum water density at 4°C. The solid form of most substances is denser than the liquid phase. Water is an exception and with this apparatus you can determine the temperature at which water attains its maximum density.
 
Equipment needed
Alcohol Thermometer -10°C ÷ 110°C (code 2245.15)
or Mercury Thermometer -10°C ÷ 110°C (code 2240.15)
Equipment suggested
