A recent article by Singh, Szafran, and Pike in this column [199S, 70, A36, A381 described the construction of a micmpycnometer fmm a Pasteur pipet and its use in determining the densities of different organic liquids and % (wlv) solutions of inorganic salts. We used this procedure recentlv in our general chemistry laboratories and have the follbwing comments. We found that the mauh of alcohol formula weight versus density is not li
