Determination of the density of solids

Abstract

Chapter 3.2 deals with methods and precautions required to measure the density of solids and is firmly based on an earlier version by F. M. Richards. A knowledge of the density can be of considerable use in determining the number of `molecules' per asymmetric unit, although in the case of biological macromolecules the measurement of density can be problematic.
