What is meant by relative density of a substance?
The relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio of density of any substance to the density of water at 4 degree celcius.Formula=Density of any substance/Density of water at 4 degree celcius.
What is the comparison of density to density of an equal volume of water?
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.
Is the density of 8ml of water the same as the density of 4ml of water?
yes. the density of a element will not change only the mass and volume will.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
Density of a pot of water?
The density of water is 1.0
How is water used in Density?
The density of water is 1.
How do you calculate the relative density of a substance?
To calculate the relative density of a substance, you divide the density of the substance by the density of water. The formula is: Relative Density Density of Substance / Density of Water. The relative density is a measure of how dense a substance is compared to water.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
Is the density of 1.00L of water greater than the density of 1.00qt of water?
No. As long as they're at the same temperature.
What can you say about the density of a paper clip versus the density water?
Paper clips have a density greater than the density of water.
Why do you use water to determine specific gravity?
Water was used as the standard because at first, the cubic centimetre was defined so that pure water, at 4 deg C and a pressure of 1 bar, had a density of 1 gram per cubic centimetre. The specific gravity of other substances, being the ratio of their density to that of water, meant that their specific gravity would have the same numeric value as their density. However, an error in defining the centimetre resulted in a change in its definition and the density of water is no longer 1 g/cm3.
