Does a viscous liquid have to be dense?

No, the viscosity of a liquid refers to its resistance to flow, while density refers to the mass of a substance per unit volume. A liquid can be viscous without being dense, as viscosity and density are independent properties.


How can you tell when two liquids with the same volume which one has greater density?

You can determine which liquid has greater density by measuring the mass of equal volumes of each liquid. The liquid with greater mass per unit volume has higher density. Alternatively, you could also check their buoyancy when placed in the same container – the liquid that floats on top has lower density.


How many gallons are in 61.7 pounds?

The estimate would be just under 8 gallons. Pounds is a unit of mass/weight. Gallons is a liquid measure. They do not convert cleanly. The density of the liquid being measured can make a big difference. If the liquid is water, there is 8 pounds to a gallon.


Can you use a kilogram to measure a liquid?

While a kilogram is a unit of mass, it can indirectly be used to measure the volume of a liquid by converting the mass to a volume using the liquid's density. The density of the liquid will determine how much volume is equivalent to a kilogram of that liquid.


Will a liquid of higher density displace a liquid of lower density?

Yes, a liquid of higher density will displace a liquid of lower density when the two liquids are immiscible. This is because the liquid with the higher density will sink below the other liquid due to gravity, displacing it.

What is the unit for liquid density?

Density unit is mass / volume. SI unit for dendity is kg/m3.


What is relative density. What is the SI unit of relative density?

The ratio of thee density of a substance of the density of a standard , usually water for a liquid or solid and aur for a gas. The SI unit of relative density is g/ m3


Is ml a unit of weight?

That depends on what liquid you're talking about. Millilitres are a measure of volume, so to calculate the weight of 1ml you need to know the density of the liquid. Density is grams per millilitre, so if a liquid has a density of 1.0g/ml, 1ml would weigh 1g. For a liquid with a density of 1.5g/ml 1ml would weigh 1.5g.


What is the liquid density in gmL?

The liquid density is the mass of the liquid per unit volume, typically expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL). It provides a measure of how much mass is contained within a specific volume of the liquid.


What makes certain substances float and others sink?

Substances with a density (mass per unit volume) greaterthan a liquid will sink in the liquid; if the object has a lower density it will float.


How many milliliters contains 2.5 milligrams?

the density of the liquid is required for the conversion between milliliters (unit of volume) and milligrams (unit of mass). volume x density = mass


What is density of a Liquid?

Density is mass per unit volume ie the mass of an object divided by its volume: density = mass/volume So if the mass is measured in kilograms (kg) amd the volume in cubic metres (m-3) the density is given in units of kg.m-3 It makes no difference to the definition if the object is a solid, liquid or a gas. See http://www.zyra.org.uk/density.htm http://physics.about.com/od/fluidmechanics/f/density.htm


How much of 153g is 1L?

That depends on the density of the liquid in question. Without some unit of density to convert, the two units are incompatible.


What is the density of 10 gallons of a liquid?

Depends on the liquid. Also depends (at least a little) on the temperature and pressure of the liquid, although much less so than a gas. For example, at typical room temperature and pressure, mercury has a density of approximately 13,534 kg/cubic meter. Water at the same temperature and pressure has a density of approximately 998 kg/cubic meter. Also, the density doesn't depend on how much of a liquid you have. Density is mass over volume; that is, it's expressed in unit volume, so the density of 10 gallons of a particular liquid is the same as the density of 1 gallon or 100 gallons.


Is it right to say an object sinks in a liquid because it is heavier than the liquid?

No. That is informal language, and not entirely correct. The object sinks if it has a greater density than the liquid. Density is the weight (or mass) per unit volume.


Does a viscous liquid have to be dense?

No, the viscosity of a liquid refers to its resistance to flow, while density refers to the mass of a substance per unit volume. A liquid can be viscous without being dense, as viscosity and density are independent properties.


How can the density of a liquid be measured?

The definition of density is mass per unit volume. Thus, you measure the volume of a liquid in mls, and then weight that volume in grams. You thus obtain grams/volume, and that is the density expressed as grams per ml.
