The "specific Volume" of a substance is its volume per unit mass, measured in cubicmeters per kilogram. NT: to find density of any substance is the reciprocal of its specific volume. : density = 1/specific vol. kg/m3(unit)

Find the density of water?
Measure out a specific volume of water, such as 100mL. Determine the mass of that volume of water. Density = mass/volume, so divide the mass by the volume, and you will have the density.
What's the relationship between Specific retention and specific yield?
Both Specific retention and specific yield relate to the ratio of the volume of water (in a permeable unit of rock and/or sediment) to the total volume of the rock and/or sediment, as it relates to gravity. Specific retention is the ratio of the volume of water that is RETAINED against the pull of gravity, ...where-as specific yield is the ratio of the volume of water that is EXPELLED (yielded) against the pull of gravity. Again, ...both as a ratio to the total volume of the rock and/or sediment.
Is water have specific heat at constant volume or not?
Yes it has! the specific heat of water at constant volume is given by cV : Heat capacity at constant volume cP : Heat capacity at constant pressure : Thermal expansion coefficient : Isothermal compressibility : Density
What is the difference between specific gravity and density?
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
How do you measure fresh water's density?
The "density" of water is more specifically known as its Specific Gravity. Specific Gravity uses water as its base number (1.0). This means that one Litre of water weighs exactly 1Kilogram. Bear in mind that the water must be pure and distilled, or its Specific Gravity will change diminutively. Why is Water the base number for all Specific Gravities? because it is the most common liquid. If you want to know the "density" of a liquid, all you have to do is measure a litre of it into a jug and weigh it. Say the weight of a litre of shampoo is 1.8Kilos; that means 1.8 is the Specific Gravity of shampoo! Easy!

What is temperature of the volume?
Substances such as water or air have a temperature; volume does not in itself have a temperature, although something that is inside a specific volume can have a temperature.

How do you find specific gravity of metal?
Weigh it in water and out of water. Hmm, ok, you have to know its volume.
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.
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 ratio of the mass of the substance to the mass of an equal volume of water?
specific gravity
What compares weight of mineral with weight of an equal volume of water?
Specific gravity
What compares weight of minerals with weight of an equal volume of water?
Specific gravity
This is expressed as the weight of a mineral compared with the weight of an equal volume of water?
This is the specific gravity of the mineral. It's a comparison of how much mass a given volume of it has compared to the mass of an equal volume of water.
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.
