Density.
Since density = mass/volume, if you have a substance A, it has density(A), which is given in a standard form of ## grams per cm^3 (cubic centimeter) or mL (milliliter).
The density of water is 1.0g/mL.
Thus, suppose the mass of substance A is 10 grams and it's volume is 5 cm^3. Then, it's density is 2g/mL.
If you looked at 5cm^3 (or 5mL) of water, it's mass would be 5 grams. Therefore, the ratio of the two masses of equal volumes substance A and water is exactly the ratio of the two densities, which equals the density of substance A.

What is equal to the volume of water an object displaces?
volume of water an object displaces is equal to the volume of the part of the object inside it
How do you we measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?
Immerse it in water and its volume is equal to the volume of water displaced
How does the amount of buoyant force exerted by water vary with the volume of submerged solid?
The amount of buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water. The VOLUME of the displaced water is equal to the part of the solid that is submerged - thus, the buoyant force is equal to this volume, times the density of the water.
What is the volume of water equal to 38cm3?
380ml
What is the difference of relative density and density?
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
This is expressed as the weight of a mineral compared with the weight of an equal volume of water?
This is the specific gravity of the mineral. It's a comparison of how much mass a given volume of it has compared to the mass of an equal volume of water.
What compares weight of mineral with weight of an equal volume of water?
Specific gravity
What is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the mass of an equal volume of water?
specific gravity
What is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the mass of an equal volume of water called?
Specific Gravity
The ratio of the weight of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of water at 4c is its?
Specific gravity.
A mineral has a specific gravity of 7.0 What does this mean?
Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of one material to the density of water (at 4 degrees C). When a mineral has a specific gravity (SG) of 7.0 it means that the mineral is 7.0 times as heavy as the same volume of water.
A mineral with a specific gravity of 3.5 would be expected to weigh 3.5 times as much as an equal volume of?
water
The ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance in a vacuum at a given temperature to the weight of an equal volume of water in a vacuum at a given temperature is known as?
This ratio is called the specific gravity.
When body is immersed in water then water equal to the volume explain this?
The water displaced by the body is equal to its volume.
What is the difference between specific gravity and density?
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
What is equal to the volume of water an object displaces?
volume of water an object displaces is equal to the volume of the part of the object inside it
What is the volume ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in water?
1 mole of water is equal to 18 g.2 g hydrogen is equal to 22,25 L.16 g oxygen is equal to 11,2 L.The volumes ratio H/O is approx. 2.
