The ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance in a vacuum at a given temperature to the weight of an equal volume of water in a vacuum at a given temperature is known as?

This ratio is called the specific gravity.


What is the specific gravity of gasoline in a gaseous state?

Specific gravity, (similar to density) has no meaning for a gas, since the density varies with pressure and temperature.


What is the difference between apparent specific gravity and absolute specific gravity and bulk specific gravity?

Dry Bulk Specific Gravity does not take into account for anything getting into the permeable or impermeable voids of say a stone by water for instance. Saturated Surface Dry Bulk Specific Gravity takes into account for anything getting into the permeable voids only of say a stone by water. Apparent Specific gravity takes into account for the volume of the impermeable voids and not anything getting into the permeable voids of say a stone by water.


What is the physical property of minerals that is defined as the average weight per unit volume compared to the same volume of water is called?

This is called the Specific Gravity of a substance. The density of the material divided by the density of water yields the specific gravity, a specific gravity greater than 1 indicates the substance will sink in water. A specific gravity less than 1 indicates the substance will float in water. Because the units expressed in density cancel each other out specific gravity has no unit dimensions. example: substance 1 has a density of 12 grams per ml water has a density of 1 g/ml then substance 1 has a specific gravity of 12. 12 g/ml / 1 g/ml = 12 *note: for true specific gravity the atmospheric pressure, absolute , and the temperature absolute of both the sample material and the water must be indicated in the calculations as well. ** for gasses the constant or reference medium is air
