The "density" of water is more specifically known as its Specific Gravity. Specific Gravity uses water as its base number (1.0). This means that one Litre of water weighs exactly 1Kilogram. Bear in mind that the water must be pure and distilled, or its Specific Gravity will change diminutively. Why is Water the base number for all Specific Gravities? because it is the most common liquid. If you want to know the "density" of a liquid, all you have to do is measure a litre of it into a jug and weigh it. Say the weight of a litre of shampoo is 1.8Kilos; that means 1.8 is the Specific Gravity of shampoo! Easy!

How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?

An object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in, and it will float if its density is less than the fluid. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so comparing the density of an object to the density of the fluid it is in helps predict its buoyancy.

What is fresh waters maximum density?

The maximum density of freshwater is around 1000 kg/m3, which occurs at around 4 degrees Celsius. This is the point at which freshwater is the densest before it freezes and becomes less dense.

How much density does sea water have?

The density of seawater is approximately 1030 kg/m3Note that:1. Density is a measure of the mass per unit volumeIt does not depend on the sample's size.2. The density of seawater is greater than that of fresh water which has a density of approximately 1000 kg/m33. The density of water varies with temperature and impurities.


What steps would you take to determine the density of an egg?

To determine the density of an egg, first weigh the egg using a scale to measure its mass. Then, fill a container with water and measure the volume of water displaced when the egg is submerged. Finally, divide the mass of the egg by the volume of water displaced to calculate the density of the egg.
