Definitions [3]
Define the term relative density of a substance.
RELATIVE DENSITY: “is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water at 4° C.”
Or
RELATIVE DENSITY “is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the mass of an equal volume of water at 4° C.”
Define the term Density of a substance.
Density of a substance is defined as “Mass per Unit volume”.
Density [d]=`"mass of the substance"/"volume of the substance"`
d=`m/v`
What is the unit of relative density?
UNIT OF RELATIVE DENSITY: No units since it is a pure ratio.
