By using API gravity value of a liquid we can check that how a liquid is lighter or haavior one.
First we should know about API gravity.The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a liquid is compared to water. If its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks. API gravity is thus an inverse measure of the relative density of a petroleum liquid and the density of water, but it is used to compare the relative densities of petroleum liquids. For example, if one petroleum liquid floats on another and is therefore less dense, it has a greater API gravity. Although mathematically, API gravity has no units (see the formula below), it is nevertheless referred to as being in "degrees". API gravity is graduated in degrees on a hydrometer instrument. The API scale was designed so that most values would fall between 10 and 70 API gravity degrees.

What else can I help you with?
Why does more light travel through clear liquids than opaque liquids?
Opaque liquids usually have more objects in them to block and shade out rays of light, such as having blinds in between you and the window, or holding paper up to a light. I hope this answered your question. -Teek.
Is light that spreads out to fill the space of a room an example of gas?
No, light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, not a gas. Light can travel through gases, liquids, and solids, but it is not considered a gas itself.
How will the type of liquid affect light refraction?
The type of liquid can affect light refraction based on its refractive index, which determines how much the light is bent as it passes through the liquid. Liquids with a higher refractive index will bend light more than those with a lower refractive index. This can impact how colors appear when light passes through the liquid, leading to effects like dispersion or changes in the light's path.
What are non-transparent liquids called?
Well actually there are two types of objects that are not transparent:1.If the object is totally not transparent,it is called OPAQUE.2.If you can see through the object, but it appears blurred or unclear because of the scattering of light; it is called TRANSLUCENT.
What is the order from slowest to fastest of increasing speed of light waves passing through solidsliquidsand gas?
Please note that there are individual differences, between different liquids, or between different solids. But as a rough guideline, you can expect light to be fastest in the materials that are less dense - and also as a rough guideline, solids are often more dense than liquids, and liquids are almost always more dense than gases. However, there is a lot of overlap between solids and liquids - check the Wikipedia article "List of refractive indices" for some examples.
heat and light travel in what?
liquids
Do different liquids refract light differently?
Yes, different liquids have different refractive indices, which means they can bend light differently. This causes light to travel at different speeds and directions when passing through different liquids.
Can visible light waves travel through liquids?
Yes, visible light waves can travel through liquids, although the extent to which they do so depends on the liquid's properties. For example, clear liquids like water allow visible light to pass through with minimal absorption, while opaque or colored liquids may absorb or scatter the light, reducing its transmission. The interaction of light with a liquid can also result in phenomena such as refraction.
How does light effect the pH of different liquids?
It doesn't
Is heat and light retained in colorless liquids?
Some heat, no light (light is not "retained" in any matter).
What kind of liquid does not allow ligh to pass through it?
Opaque liquids, such as milk or paint, do not allow light to pass through them. The particles in these liquids scatter light, preventing it from passing through in a straight line. Transparent and translucent liquids, on the other hand, allow light to pass through with varying levels of obstruction.
Can light travel through solids liquids and gases?
Yes, light can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. The speed and ability of light to travel through these mediums may vary depending on their optical properties, such as density and composition. In solids and liquids, light may experience absorption and scattering, while in gases, it may travel relatively more freely.
Why does more light travel through clear liquids than opaque liquids?
Opaque liquids usually have more objects in them to block and shade out rays of light, such as having blinds in between you and the window, or holding paper up to a light. I hope this answered your question. -Teek.
What has the author William Howard Martin written?
William Howard Martin has written: 'The scattering of light by liquids' -- subject(s): Light, Scattering, Liquids, Bibliography, Polarization (Light) 'A first course in chemistry' -- subject(s): Textbooks, Chemistry
What phase of matter does light travel fastest in?
Light travels in the air phase of matter compared to the liquids and solids.
Do liquids evaporate with no light around them?
it can, but slowly or not likely. If there is heat it will evaporate, but if there is no light there is normally no heat, unless the temperature is high
Are liquids visible?
Depends on which liquid you are talking of. Colored liquids are obviously easily seen. Transparent liquids like water may not be surely seen but they often reflect light and show properties like diffraction which allows you to sense its presence.Diffraction is the phenomena in which light waves are bent by an obstacle through which it passes. You may have noticed that when you fill a bucket with water, the bucket appears shallower than it really is. This is diffraction of light by water.Therefore, there is often an indirect way to see invisible liquids.
