If the density of a liquid is 0.80 g/mL, what is its specific gravity? ( at Room Temp.)
|
|
0.8 ml
|
|
|
0.8 L
|
|
|
0.8
|
|
|
0.8 g/mL
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Specific gravity = (0.80 g/mL) / (1 g/mL) Specific gravity = 0.80 Rounded to the tenth place, the specific gravity of the liquid is 0.8.
Detailed explanation-2: -How to calculate and measure specific gravity. If the density of a substance is known, to calculate the specific gravity of a substance simply divide the density of the substance by the density of water or air.
Detailed explanation-3: -Generally, the specific gravity of liquids increases with decreasing temperature, which means as temperature decreases, the liquid contracts, making them denser. Similarly, the viscosity of a liquid also increases with decreasing temperature.
