Calculate the specific gravity of mercury at 20 deg C

Solutions

Expert Solution

Density of mercury at standard temperature and pressure conditions (STP- 0ᵒ C , 1 atm ) is = 13595 kg/m³

Density of water at 4 ᵒ C is =1000kg/m³

Specific gravity or Relative density of an object = density of the object / density of the water.

Specific gravity is a dimensionless and unitless quantity.
