It's possible for a solid to have the same specific gravity as a liquid. In general, though, no. Solid and liquid forms of the same substance almost always have different specific gravities (and most often the liquid is less dense; water is one of the few where the liquid is more dense).

If water has specific gravity 62.4 pounds per cubic feet what is the specific gravity of ice?

The specific gravity of ice would also be 0.917, as it is the same as the specific gravity of water because both ice and water are forms of the same substance, H2O.


Does the specific gravity of ice change if it is heavy water?

Of course. Heavy water ice will sink in light water.


Does ice float in boiling water?

Yes, boiling does not alter the specific gravity of liquid water.

What is the specific gravity of water on the moon?

The specific gravity of water on earth is 1.0000 or so, and water on the moon will have the identical specific gravity as water on earth. We generally say the specific gravity of water is 1, and it is a constant.The specific gravity of water is the same anywhere, as long as the water sample is pure and the sample's density is measured at a temperature and pressure that is its point of maximum density.If we assume that we don't have a pressurized container at 1 atmosphere of pressure climate-controlled to 1-4 degrees Celsius, one might suggest that water can't exist in its liquid form on the moon. The density of water vapor (again, at 1 atm) is 0.804 g/liter (0.000804 SG). In the moon's atmosphere, that density would rapidly fall to approach zero. Ice could be stable "at night" on the moon, and solid ice has a specific gravity of 0.92.


What is the specific gravity of ice if 35.0 b of ice has a volume of 38.2 ML?

(This is still part of the question... I posted ) I know the answer is 0.916, bc you divid the two numbers... but I am confused as to why you are able to divid the two numbers since their units don't match. For calculations in specific gravity the units must match... so why am I able to just divide these two numbers?


What force causes erosion?

Wind, rain, fire, gravity , glacier retraction, waves. Moving water, ice, wind and gravity are the agents of erosion.

What are four forces that cause erosion?

Running water, waves, wind, glaciers, and gravity Erosion is formed by wind, water, ice, and gravity.


How is gravity and ice alike?

Gravity and ice are alike in that they both have mass. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, while ice is the solid form of water, which has mass due to the presence of molecules.
