Specific Gravity and Density Quiz of My Sweet Baby

A substance with a specific gravity less than 1 is:

• heavier than water

• lighter than water

• the same weight as water

• cannot be determined

The formula for calculating density is:

• Density = mass/volume

• Density = volume/mass

• Density = mass x volume

• Density = mass + volume

A pycnometer is used to measure:

• volume

• mass

• specific gravity

• all of the above

The specific gravity of a substance is:

• a dimensionless quantity

• measured in grams/milliliter

• measured in kilograms/meter^3

• measured in liters

If the density of a substance increases, its specific gravity will:

• increase

• decrease

• remain the same

• cannot be determined

A substance with a specific gravity of 0.85 will:

• float in water

• sink in water

• have a density of 0.85 g/mL

• all of the above

The specific gravity of a liquid can be determined using a:

• hydrometer

• pycnometer

• both A and B

• neither A nor B

If the temperature of a liquid increases, its specific gravity will typically:

• increase

• decrease

• remain the same

• cannot be determined

The density of a gas is directly proportional to:

• its mass

• its volume

• its pressure

• its temperature

A substance with a density of 1.2 g/mL will have a specific gravity of:

• 0.83

• 1.2

• 0.5

• cannot be determined
