	Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in one liter
of solution.  One liter of pure glycerol contains 13.7 moles of glycerol.
Therefore the molarity of a glycerol/water solution is given by

	volume of gylercol X 13.7
	-------------------------
volume of glycerol + volume of water

A 15% solution of glycerol by volume is therefore

	0.15 * 13.7/ (0.15 + 0.85) = 2 Molar
