Refractive Indices and Densities of Aqueous Solutions of Invert Sugar

Report of the refractive indices and densities of aqueous solutions of invert sugar at temperatures of 15, 20, 25, and 30o C, for concentrations up to about 82 percent of invert sugar (by weight). From the results, equations have been derived which relate the refractive index and percent of invert sugar (weight in air) at each temperature. Other equations relate the absolute density and percent of invert sugar (weight in vacuum) at each temperature. Five-decimal tables giving the refractive indices and densities of invert sugar solutions containing 1 to 85 percent of sugar are given for each percentage of invert sugar at the four temperatures.
