Question

What is the relative density of a solid, soluble in water?

Answer 1

1. The relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio between the density of the substance to the density of water at 4 C.
2. Relative density is also known as specific gravity. The relative density of a substance is a pure number without any unit.
3. It tells how many times a substance is heavier than water.
   The relative density of a solid, soluble in water is given by:$R.D=\frac{Weightofthesolidinair}{Lossinweightofsolidinliquid}\times RDofliquid$
