There is indeed a relationship between gravity and atmospheric pressure. Gravity attracts matter with mass, in this case gas. The atmosphere being a layer of gas, the stronger the gravity, the higher it's pressure. I

if you seal gas in a tank, and increase its mass (by adding more gas) the pressure will increase. Now imagine that the tank is the earth, and gravity is exerting a down force on the gas... It's like water. Although it can't be compressed, water exerts pressure because of gravity; the deeper you go the higher the pressure. Now imagine the atmosphere pressure on Jupiter....

What Is The Specific Gravity Of mixture of Gas And Water?

The specific gravity of a mixture of gas and water would depend on the proportions of gas and water in the mixture. Gas would typically have a much lower specific gravity than water. The specific gravity of the mixture can be calculated by taking into account the specific gravity of each component and their respective proportions in the mixture.


Specific gravity of natural gas?

The specific gravity of natural gas typically ranges from 0.55 to 0.70. This means that natural gas is lighter than air, which is why it tends to rise and disperse into the atmosphere if released. Specific gravity is a measure of density compared to water, with water having a specific gravity of 1.


How do you Convert 20 liters gas to kilograms?

To convert liters of gas to kilograms, you need to know the specific gravity of the gas. Once you have the specific gravity, you can multiply the volume in liters by the specific gravity to get the weight in kilograms.


What is the specific gravity copper of a giraffe?

The same as the specific gravity for copper which is 8930. It doesn't matter what shape the copper is made into... it still has the same specific gravity.


Which gases weigh less than air?

Appended is a list of gases with their specific gravities. The specific gravity of a gas is a comparison of its density with that of air at the same temperature and pressure. Gases with a Specific Gravity (SG) less than1 are lighter than air.


What will be the effect on specific gravity of cement if some of the sample is lost after weighing?

There is no effect on the specific gravity if some of the sample is removed. The amount of mass will change, but it will still have the same specific gravity. It is basically a density. The specific gravity of 1lb of cement is the same as the specific gravity of 100lbs of cement, you just have more cement.


Hi I Know the specific gravity of a gas at NPT How can you calculate the specific gravity of tha gas at 400 bar pressure and ambient temperature?

Is this a school question that you simply don't know the answer to?


What is the specific gravity of gasoline in a gaseous state?

Specific gravity, (similar to density) has no meaning for a gas, since the density varies with pressure and temperature.


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.


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.


What is SG of nitrogen?

The specific gravity of nitrogen gas (N2) is about 0.967.


Is any relation between cement density Specific Gravity?

specific gravity of any substance can be find out only when it will be in liquid or gas medium.Because specific gravity of any liquid equals to ratio of density of that liquid to the density of water and specific gravity of any gas is the ratio of density of that gas to the density of air. cement is solid material(powder form) and so can not be graded on the basis of specific gravity in all conditions.
