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.
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.
What is the density of the isotope 190Pt?
The density of platinumi s 21,45 g/cm3. The difference in density between isotopes is not significant.
What is the heaviness of a mineral called?
The heaviness of a mineral is called its density. Light minerals have a specific gravity that is lighter than heavier ones.
What is difference between vapor pressure and vapor density?
I do not now
The specific gravity of basalt is about?
The density of basalt is normally between 2.8 and 3.0 g.cm-3. This density varies with the type of minerals that compose it.
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.
What is the difference between density and specific heat?
Density has dimensions of: mass/volume for example: the density of water at 4 °C is 1.000 g/cm3 Specific heat has dimensions of: energy/(mass·temperature) for example: the specific heat of water is about 1 calorie/g·°C
What is the relationship between density and specific gravity?
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
What 2 properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
Two properties of minerals that can be expressed in numbers are hardness and specific gravity. Hardness is usually determined using the Mohs scale and is expressed as a number between 1 (softest) and 10 (hardest). Specific gravity is the ratio of a mineral's density compared to the density of water and is expressed as a number.
What is the difference between density amd specific gravity?
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. Hence its unit is SI system is kg/m3 But specific gravity other wise known as relative density is defined as the ratio of the density of the substance to that of water. So no unit for specific gravity. Density of water is 1000 kg/ m3 Density of mercury is 13,600 kg /m3 Hence specific gravity or relative density of mercury is 13.6
What causes difference in water density?
the presence of minerals such as sodium cholride,magnesium etc causes the difference in ocean water ....
What is difference between partial molar volume and specific volume?
No. Specific volume is the inverse of density. Molar volume specific volume divided by mols. (i.e. g/(mLxMols)
What is the difference between high and low density polyethylene?
density of HDPE
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.
What difference between density in air and density in vacuum?
subtract 0.0011 from the density in vac to get density in air.
