Density and specific gravity

Question 1

mass per volume

Answer 1

density

depends on temperature and pressure

Question 2

reciprocal of density, volume per unit mass

Answer 2

specific volume

Question 3

in gases, density is ________ to pressure

Answer 3

proportional

Question 4

in gases, density is ________to temperature

Answer 4

inversely proportional

Question 5

another word for specific gravity

Answer 5

relative density

Question 6

the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard substance at a specified temperature

normally the standard substance is Water at 4oc)

Answer 6

specific gravity/ relative density

specific gravity = ρ/ρH2O

Question 7

another word for specific weight

Answer 7

weight density

Question 8

weight of a unit volume of a substance

Answer 8

specific weight/ weight density

γ = ρg

Question 9

any equation that relates the pressure, temperature, density or specific volume of a substance

e.g. ideal gas equation of state

Answer 9

equation of state
