CLASS IX1. Distinguish between density and relative density of a substance. The relative density of silver is 10.8. If the density ofwater is 103 kg/m3,find the density of silver.

Answer»

The ratio between density of a substance and density of water is called relative density.

The ratio between density of a substance and density of water is called relative density.

Relative density =

Density of the substance/density of water at 40C

Units: Relative density has no units because it is the ratio between the similar physical quantities (density).

Relative density = Density relative to water Density of silver = relative density * density of water = 10.8 * 1 gm/cm³ = 10.8 gm/cm³ in SI units, 10.8 * 1000 kg/m³ = 10, 800 kg / m³
