What test is used to determine a mineral based on its density in comparison to the density of water?
specific gravity test
What is the comparison of weight between water and the material being tested called?
The comparison of weight between water and the material being tested is called "specific gravity." Specific gravity is a dimensionless quantity that measures the ratio of the density of the material to the density of water at a specified temperature, typically 4°C. It helps determine whether a substance will float or sink in water.
What is the relashonship between scpecific gravity and density?
The specific gravity of a substance (as an example, I'll take iron) is the density of iron divided by the density of water. Or some other reference substance - but usually the comparison is with water.
What reflects the amount of wastes minerals and solids in urine?
Your urine's specific gravity reflects the amount of minerals, solids, and wastes in the urine. Specific gravity is a comparison of urine's density to water's density.
How do you calculate the the specific gravity for minerals?
Specific gravity of a mineral is calculated by dividing the weight of the mineral by the weight of an equal volume of water. This is typically done using a balance to measure the weight of the mineral and a graduated cylinder to measure water displacement. The specific gravity value provides information about the density and composition of the mineral in comparison to water.
What is mars gravity like in comparison to earths?
38%
What is the reference substance used to calculate the specific gravity of liquid?
Specific gravity (the lab slang is "spee gee") or SG is a comparison of the density of a material to the density of pure water (at about 4 degrees C, the point of its maximum density). To make a comparison, a basis for comparison had to be chosen. Why not pick water? It's a natural choice because it is a stable and universally available substance. It doesn't hurt that its density is right at (but not exactly) 1000 kg/m3 or 1 g/cc. That's just frosting on the cake.
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.
What is the gravity on veanus?
Approximately 8.87 meter/second2. For comparison, Earth's gravity is approximately 9.82 meters/second2.
A measure of the amount of matter in a given volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
How much gravity does the moon have in comparison to the earth?
about 6 times less
Does Ceres have any gravity?
Yes. Surface gravity on Ceres is about 3% that of Earth.
