Specific gravity is the ratio of a material’s density with that of water at 4 °C (where it is most dense and is taken to have the value 999.974 kg m–3). It is therefore a relative quantity with no units. What does the specific gravity actually measure? It measures theRead More →
Specific gravity has many other applications: gemologists use it to distinguish similar gems; chemists, to check on the progress of reactions and the concentration of solutions; and auto mechanics, to test battery fluid and antifreeze. Why do scientists use specific gravity? Specific gravity can be used to determine if anRead More →
