🔍 Key Concepts

• Specific gravity and what it indicates about electrolyte strength and state of charge • Effect of adding water to electrolyte and mixing time • How temperature and recent watering can affect instrument readings like hydrometers

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the acid concentration in a battery cell when you add distilled water on top. Will it mix instantly, or does it take time? How would that affect a sample taken right away? • Consider whether a higher specific gravity means a stronger or weaker electrolyte. Would a fully charged battery have stronger or weaker acid solution? How would the float sit in a denser liquid? • Ask yourself if most precision instruments that measure liquids (like hydrometers) usually require temperature corrections, or if temperature can always be ignored.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option correctly reflects that higher specific gravity means a denser, more concentrated electrolyte and how that affects the float position. • Check whether adding distilled water makes the electrolyte more or less dense before it is fully mixed. • Confirm whether temperature is normally corrected for or considered irrelevant when using a hydrometer.
