Chapter 15, Problem 77P
You’re a private investigator assisting a large food manufacturer in tracking down counterfeit salad dressing. The genuine dressing is by volume one part vinegar (density 1.0g/cm3) to three parts olive oil (density 0.92 g/cm3). The counterfeit dressing is diluted with water (density 1.0 g/cm3). You measure the density of a dressing sample and find it to be 0.97 g/cm3. Has the dressing been altered?
