How do you calculate specific gravity of liquid mixture?
The specific gravity of a mixture should be somewhewre in between of the specific gravity of the substances you mix. The exact value for the specific gravity depends, of course, on the specific gravities of the components, but also how much you use of each.
What is the density of something that has a specific gravity of 1.15?
1.15 times the density of water, in whatever units you choose.
Which liquid has a specific gravity greater than 3.52?
Specific gravity relative to what? I assume you mean water. Bromine has a density of 3.11 gm/c^3, which is 3.11 times that of water. That could work for whatever you are doing.
Would the specific gravity of mercury be the same on the moon where gravity is one sixth of that on the earth?
Specific gravity (Sg) is a value that relates substance x (in this case mercury) to that of water. Notice that Sg is unit-less, thus its a ratio value, and constant. So yes, specific gravity of any substance is the same everywhere, be it earth, the moon, or Pluto. note: Obviously gravity is different on the moon, as you mentioned about 1/6th that of earth. Finding a force of a certain substance on the moon is found by multiplying the density of water by the specific weight of the substance, multiplied by the gravitational pull. Thus, it is not nessicary to change the specific gravity of the substance.
What is specific gravity of 6K gold?
specific gravity = relative density (relative to water @ 1 g / cubic centimetre) specific gravity of gold is 19.3, so is 19.3 times the density of water. so gold is 19.3 g / cubic centimetre volume of 6k (6 000 g) of gold is : 6 000 / 19.3 = 310.9 cubic centimetres (.3109 litres)
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 does it mean when a mineral has a specific gravity of 4.0?
A specific gravity of 4.0 for a mineral means that a given volume of the mineral has 4.0 times the mass of the same volume of water.
Are diamonds heavy for their size?
Gold is heavier than diamond. Diamonds have a specific gravity of 3.51. Gold has a specific gravity of 19.32.
A mineral with a specific gravity of 3.5 would be expected to weigh 3.5 times as much as an equal volume of?
water
What is the specific gravity of portland cement?
According to ASTM C188 the specific gravity of Portland cement is roughly 3.15According to ASTM C188, the specific gravity of portland cement (without voids between particles) is about 3.15. In other words, portland cement is about 3.15 times heavier than water.
Does gold sink or float?
Gold, because of it's high specific gravity (19.3) will sink. Specific gravity is the indicator of how many times heavier than the same quantity of water.
Are specific gravity of the material will give effect to strength of concrete?
The specific gravity of materials tell us how many times is the material heavier than water. The higher the specific gravity of a material the higher the density of concrete made with and the higher will be the force require to crush it and the higher will be the corresponding strenght of the concrete
If a mineral has a specific gravity of 5.5 how much more matter is there in 1 cm cubed of this mineral than in 1 cm cubed of water?
There's 5.5 times more mass. Specific gravity is the density of a material in relation to the density of water, so the 5.5 gives the answer.
The procedure for determining the density of earth materials?
It's called the specific gravity of a material, and it is the weight of a specific volume of material, compared to an equal volume of water, expressed as a number. Galena, for instance, has a specific gravity of 7.4, indicating that it is 7.4 times heavier than water.
Is Jupiter's gravity havier then earth?
Its about 3000 times more powerful. And gravity cant be heavier, it just has more gravity acting upon it.
Why are object heavier on earth than on the moon?
The earth's gravity is about six times that of the gravity of the moon and weight is proportional to gravitational attraction.
What substance is 7.5 times heavier then water when equal volumes are compared?
An object with a specific gravity (SG) of 7.5 which could be a mixture of something with a SG higher than 7.5 and something with a lower SG.
