Question

Three beakers contain clear, colorless liquids. one beaker contains pure water, another contains salt water, and another contains sugar water. how can you tell which beaker is which? (

Answer 1

First, we'll identify the beaker containing pure water as follows:
We'll take equal masses from each of the three beakers and measure the mass of each.
We'll then identify the density of each by using the rule : density =mass/volume
Pure water will be the liquid having density equal to 1 gm/cm^3

Then, we'll differentiate between the salt and sugar solution by measuring the conductivity of each solution. Salt solution is a good conductor while solution of sugar is a bad conductor.
