What is relative density? Explain it mathematically. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Density of any other substance with RESPECT to the density of water at `4^(@) C`is called RELATIVE density Mathematically, ` R.D. =(" Density of the substance")/("Density of water at " 4^(@) C)` We know that, Density = `"Mass"/"Volume" ` ` :. ` Relative density = `" Mass of the substance / Volume of substance "/"Mass of water / Volume of water" ` Since the volume of substance is EQUAL to volume of water, Relative density = `" Mass of certain volume of substance "/"Mass of equal volume of water" ` Thus, the ratio of mass of a given volume of a substance to the mass of an equal volume of water at `4^(@) C`also denotes relative density |
