Gold has a specific gravity of almost 20 if a 25L pail of water weighs 25kg how much would a 25L pail gold weigh?
Is the gold 5 gallon pail empty or full? If full, full of what?
Okay - 5 gallons
0.264 gallons/liter = 18.9 Liters
1000 cubic centimeters / liter = 18927 cc
19.32 grams per cc == 365670 grams
1000 grams per kg = 365.67 KG
2.2 pounds per kg = 804.5 pounds
plus 1/2 pound for the pail = 805 pounds.

Can you calculate specific gravity without a hydrometer?
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)
If brass has a specific gravity of 8.5. A 5-gallon bucket of water weighs 40 pounds. How much would a 5-gallon bucket of brass weigh?
To find the weight of a 5-gallon bucket of brass, first convert 5 gallons of water to its weight. Since water has a specific gravity of 1, 5 gallons of water weighs 40 pounds. Brass, with a specific gravity of 8.5, is 8.5 times denser than water. Therefore, a 5-gallon bucket of brass would weigh 40 pounds × 8.5 = 340 pounds.
The specific gravity of a product can be found on the material data sheet. how do you know if a product will sink in water?
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
The property which compares the density of a substance with that of water is known as its?
"Specific gravity" or "specific density"
What specific gravity will not float in water?
An object with a specific gravity greater than 1 will not float in water. Since water has a specific gravity of 1, any material with a specific gravity exceeding this value will sink. For example, metals like lead and gold have specific gravities significantly higher than 1, causing them to sink when placed in water.
What is the specific gravity of stainless steel?
Steel has a Specific Gravity of 7.83. This means that a cubic foot of steel weighs 7.83 times more than a cubic foot of water (which weighs 62.4 pounds)
What is the specific gravity of a strawberry?
A strawberry is almost all water and therefore the specific gravity or density will be close to that of water. In fact, it is around 0.95 that of water so a strawberry will just float although it will be almost totally submerged.
Is density the same thing as specific gravity?
Almost, but not quite. 'Specific gravity' is the density of a substancecompared to water.Numerically . . .Specific gravity of a substance = Density of the substance/Density of water.
When does a specific gravity of 2.509 equal a density of 50 pounds per cubic foot?
Never. The specific gravity of a substance is its density compared to water. If that happens to be 2.509, then any amount of the substance weighs 2.509 times as much as an equal amount of water. One cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds, so one cubic foot of the substance you've described weighs about 156.6 pounds. "50 pounds per cubic foot" means that the specific gravity is about 0.80 .
What is Specific gravity of copper is 8.91 it weighs?
Specific gravity is a measure of density relative to the density of water. A specific gravity of 8.91 for copper means that it is 8.91 times denser than water. Therefore, the weight of a given volume of copper would be 8.91 times the weight of the same volume of water.
How much does a substance of one mL weigh?
It depends on what substance you are referring to. If it is water 1mL weighs 1 gram. Water has a specific gravity of 1.0; other substances/compounds/elements are different in density and thus have differing specific gravity ratings.
Specific gravity of 1 gallon of water?
The specific gravity of water is 1.0, so 1 gallon of water will have a specific gravity of 1.0 as well.
What is specific gravity of feldspar?
The specific gravity of a substance is the ration of its density to some standard, almost always water for liquids or solids. In this case, Feldspar has a specific gravity of about 2.6.

How do you know if a product will sink in water by its specific gravity?
To determine if a product will sink in water based on its specific gravity, compare the specific gravity of the product to that of water. If the specific gravity of the product is greater than 1, it will sink. If it is less than 1, it will float. The specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the product to the density of water.
Specific is the ratio of an object's density to that of water?
Specific Gravity.
Is specific gravity of ice is same as water?
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).
