What is specific gravity of crude oil?

Specific gravity of crude oil is how light or heavy it is compared to water. If the API gravity is less than 10 it will float in water.


How does the mass change in a tub with you in it?

Your mass, the mass of the tub and the specific gravity of the water do not change, whether you are in the tub or not.


Specific gravity of 1 gallon of water?

The specific gravity of water is 1.0, so 1 gallon of water will have a specific gravity of 1.0 as well.


What is the relation between API gravity and specific gravity?

API gravity is inversally proportional to the specific gravity. so if the value of spcific gravity for some material is higher , it means that the API gravity of the same material will be lower.


How do you know if a product will sink in water by its specific gravity?

To determine if a product will sink in water based on its specific gravity, compare the specific gravity of the product to that of water. If the specific gravity of the product is greater than 1, it will sink. If it is less than 1, it will float. The specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the product to the density of water.


Specific is the ratio of an object's density to that of water?

Specific Gravity.


Do Most minerals have a higher specific gravity than water?

Yes, most minerals have a higher specific gravity than water. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, which is usually water. Since water has a specific gravity of 1, minerals with a higher specific gravity sink when immersed in water.


Does the gravity of crude oil affect the weight of the oil?

You probably mean the "specific gravity" of crude oil. The answer is yes. For example: crude oil with a specific gravity of less than 1.0 and is therefore lighter than water and will float on its surface. "Extra heavy crude oil" has a specific gravity greater than 1.0 and sinks to the bottom of water.


A mineral has a specific gravity of 7.0 What does this mean?

Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of one material to the density of water (at 4 degrees C). When a mineral has a specific gravity (SG) of 7.0 it means that the mineral is 7.0 times as heavy as the same volume of water.


What is the expression for specific gravity when kerosene is used instead of distilled water?

Specific gravity is the ratio of density of material to the density of water, so when we use Kerosin instead of water then the value will be multiplied by the specific gravity of kerosin to get the actual specific gravity.


Specific gravity of liquid hydrocarbon is compared to what?

The specific gravity of liquid hydrocarbons is typically compared to the specific gravity of water, which has a value of 1. If the specific gravity of a liquid hydrocarbon is less than 1, it will float on water, and if it is greater than 1, it will sink in water.


The specific gravity of a product?

The specific gravity of a product is the ratio of its density to the density of water. It provides information about how dense the product is compared to water, which has a specific gravity of 1. Products with a specific gravity greater than 1 are denser than water, while those with a specific gravity less than 1 are less dense than water.
