Since specific gravity is an ideal quantitative respresetnation of the denstiy (kg/m^3) of a substance relative to the denstiy of distilled water, specific gravity can be used interchangably with measures of Osmolality (moles/1kg of solvent). This relationship is readily observed throughout the physical implications of homeostasis within the endocrine system.

Does the earth float in space or is sitting on something?
The Earth is not floating in space; it is actually orbiting the Sun due to gravitational forces. It is not sitting on anything specific but is instead held in its orbit by the gravitational pull of the Sun.
Why do rocks fall from the sky?
Because of Gravity, of course! Same as I. Newton : "Why did the apple fall from the tree instead of flying off?"
What is a plants response to gravity?
(meaning: tropo; turning, bending; geo, earth) The innate condition in plants to grow their roots toward gravity. The same happens with the leaves that grow towards the sun; this instead is called phototropism.
How does the moon affect the waters of the earth?
Everything has it's own gravity. The bigger the mass the stronger the gravity. The Earth's gravity pulls the moon towards us, but the moon has its own gravity and, as it isn't strong enough to effect the planet as a whole, so instead it pulls the oceans towards it. As the earth rotates one side is always closest to the moon and is effected the most. This pulling of the oceans towards the moon is how tides work
How do you determine specific heat for sodium without water?
Sodium reacts explosively with water, so it is not advisable to do a specific heat experiment with water. Instead use a non-exploding solution such as naphtha or a chlorobezene.
What is the expression for specific gravity when kerosene is used instead of distilled water?
Specific gravity is the ratio of density of material to the density of water, so when we use Kerosin instead of water then the value will be multiplied by the specific gravity of kerosin to get the actual specific gravity.
What is the specific gravity of cement?
Specific gravity of cement is 3.15.The specific gravity of cement is 3.15The specific gravity can be found out by using the bottle method.For finding specific gravity of cement kerosene is used.
What is specific gravity of Pozzolana cement?
The specific gravity of pozzolana cement is 3.15The specific gravity test can be done by using the bottle method.For finding the specific gravity of cement by bottle method, instead of water kerosene is used.
What can cause specific gravity to go up instead of going down in water?
An object will tend to go up (float) if it has less density than the fluid (in this case, water) it is placed in.
What is specific gravity of portland pozzolona cement?
The specific gravity of portland pozzolana cement is 3.15.The specific gravity test can be done on cement using the bottle method.In this method instead of water kerosene is used to test the specific gravity of cement.
How are mass volume and density are related?
Density = Mass / Volume
Specific gravity in urine of 1.030 what does that mean?
The way I best understood specific gravity is that it's just something's density compared to water at a specific temperature. Water here is the reference. You can find the value of specific gravity by dividing it's density by the density of water. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm3 . This means that a specific gravity of 1.030 means that it's density is 1.030 g/cm3 (1.030 * 1.00 g/cm3 ). Keep in mind that specific gravity is simply a ratio. You should not be surprised then that it is unitless. g/cm3 divided by g/cm3 is 1, yielding no units. When I learned this in school, I felt that they just skipped over these details. Hope it helps!
How can you calculat the specific gravity of air?
You could measure the weight of a recipient with air, and compare it to one without air (with a vacuum instead).
What are consequences of using water instead of naphtha and kerosene when determining the specific gravity in ASTM C188?

What is the specific gravity of ethanol?
The specific gravity of ethanol is 0.794. This is for pure 100% ethanol. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance compared to the density of water. For example, water weighs 8.33 lb/gal at standard conditions (60 deg F). Ethanol weighs 6.61 lb/gal at standard conditions (60 deg F). Therefore, the specific gravity of ethanol is 6.61 divided by 8.33, equals 0.794. A person can verify this result (0.794) by very fundamental experimental testing. Get a gallon of pure water and weigh it precisely. THIS will yield the number 8.33 lbs. Then do the same for ethanol; weigh a gallon of pure ethanol. This will yield the number 6.61 lbs. VOILA! 6.61 divided by 8.33 equals 0.794. I did NOT actually do this weighing of the two liquids, but I COULD! I instead looked the values up in a standard reference book. My copy of "The Data Book on Hydrocarbons", also commonly referred to as 'the Maxwell data book', is a very familiar book to any one who works around the oil industry, as I did for 38 years.
Why do things fall down instead of up?
Gravity.
Why you use gravity filtration than evaporation to get calcium carbonate?
why was gravity filtration use instead of evaporation
