“Degas?”
“The alcohol has microscopic air trapped inside. That air is lighter than the liquid. It’s making your volume reading wrong, but worse—it’s making your mass wrong for the space you think is full.”
Elena, bored with her summer reading, peered over his elbow. “So? That’s basically the same.”
“Let me try,” she said.
“You did that without even using a formula,” Mateo whispered.
Elena shrugged. “Density is mass over volume. If there are air bubbles, you have less alcohol in the same space. So you measure a lower mass. Therefore, your calculated density is lower than the truth.”
