True specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a sample by the density of water, whereas apparent specific gravity is the ratio of the weights of equal volumes of sample and water in air.
Specific gravity is the ratio of the weight of the sample to the weight of the water. Where as true specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the material to the density of the water
I just learned about this in chem11. I'll give the definition off my sheet.Specific gravity is a dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of density of a material to the density of water at a given...
Specific gravity, usually referred to as relative density is the ratio of the mass of a given volume of a substance to the density of a different reference substance. Water is often used as the...
