Specific gravity is a measure of density in comparison to the density of water (or air). A hydrometer is used for liquids but is not the only means. If you have a scale which can measure down to milligrams accurately, then by weighing one ml of the liquid you are checking will give you the specific gravity.
specific gravity of water = 1
example: 1 milliliter of beer weighs in at 987 milligrams then the specific gravity is .987 .
.987 g/ml / 1 g/ml = .987 (SpG)

Why science people is important?
without science there is no force,gravity,inventions and foods
Why is HCl added before titration?
Without the specific details, one cannot be sure, but this is probably a back titration. You add a known amount of acid to your unknown, then titrate to measure how much has not reacted. You can then calculate how much of your first chemical must have been present.
Why buoyancy is called the anti gravity force?
This answer may not be too technical but you will get the general concept. Generally buoyant force is the force which help the objects to float in fluids which includes water and air without sinking. From this its clear that it acts in the direction opposite to the gravity force to make the object float. Gravity is the force that keeps things gown on earth Thus its called the anti gravity force.
Why is isaac newtons discovery gravity important?
Newton discovering gravity is important because we know what it is that is keeping us from floating, and so that others know that there is no way of floating/flying without apparel. Newton's discovery has probably save countless lives, stopping people from jmping off cliffs and whatnot.
What role did gravity play in the formation of the planets?
Gravity, of course has a central role in formation of planets. It's believed that the planets origin can be traced to the debris swirling around a young star. The term used for coming together of particles or bodies and joining together is 'accretion'. Gravity is the reason behind accretion . Small debris join together due to accretion and this accretion occurs further to give rise to larger and larger bodies like planets . Without gravity, this could never have occurred.
What is the difference between a mineral's density and its specific gravity?
Specific Gravity is a pure number without units while density can be any number including those with decimal places with units.
What is the specific gravity of portland cement?
According to ASTM C188 the specific gravity of Portland cement is roughly 3.15According to ASTM C188, the specific gravity of portland cement (without voids between particles) is about 3.15. In other words, portland cement is about 3.15 times heavier than water.
Why do you do specific gravity what is its purpose?
because without gravity we would all float around and mabie float into space... It would kill us because without gravity we would all float around and mabie float into space... It would kill us
Can there be buoyancy without gravity Explain?
There cannot be buoyancy without gravity because without gravity there will be no pressure.
How would the specific gravity of urine be different after a vigorous workout without the consumption of significant quantities of water?
Don't know
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).
How to express 0.00001 ppm in molecules per centimeter cubed?
You cannot. Not without any information on the density (or specific gravity) of the substance in question.
The ices cream has a volume of 13.3cm3 Find the mass.?
The question cannot be answered without information about the density (or specific gravity) of the ice cream.
Would gravity not exist without weight?
Weight would not exist without gravity.
What would your life be without gravity?
eating with no gravity?
Can you stand on earth without gravity?
no, there is always gravity
Will hurricanes form without gravity?
No. Hurricanes need convection to form, which cannot occur without gravity.
