What is the number that compares an objects density to the density of water?
That is the specific gravity of the substance.
What is the number that compares an object's density to the density of water called?
That is the specific gravity of the substance.
Why does water float on oil?
The oils have low density as compared to water and oils are non polar organic compounds while water is a polar compound, so oil can not mix with water and floats on waters surface.
Which term compares an objects mass to its volume?
density is mass divided by volume
What compares an objects mass to it's volume?
density
What is the number that compares an objects density to the density of water?
That is the specific gravity of the substance.
What is the name of the tool that compares the density of water to that of coolant?
hydrometer
What is the number that compares an object's density to the density of water called?
That is the specific gravity of the substance.
How does the density of iol to the density of water?
You need to specify the oil, since there are many oils having different densities. Some oils are less dense than water, while some oils are more dense than water. Motor oil has a density of about 0.876 g/mL ; while water has a density of about 1.000 g/mL.
How does oil flow on water?
its because of the oils density
Why density of wax is less than water?
it has oils in it
The property which compares the density of a substance with that of water is known as its?
"Specific gravity" or "specific density"
The density of oil?
Different oils have different densities; usually a bit less than the density of water.
How does oils density compare to waters density?
Oil is heavier than water so it sinks to the bottom.
Is density of a substance relative to water is called liquid gravity?
The term is correctly specific gravity (also relative density) which compares the density (typically in g/cm3) to that of water (which is practically 1 g/cm3).
Why does water float on oil?
The oils have low density as compared to water and oils are non polar organic compounds while water is a polar compound, so oil can not mix with water and floats on waters surface.
Specific Gravity Compares The Density Of A Substance With The Density Of?
Hydrogen monoxide.
