I was wondering, can one accurately measure the purity of IPA or ethanol
by measuring the density?
Like measuring volume and weight, or using a hydrometer?
I recently found a 0-100% ethanol hydrometer, but i'm wondering if the
measurement would tell me much, what if the other ingredients are not
water? What if they have a density other than 1kg/l, then the measurement
would not tell me the purity?
