It is called relative density. If the second substance is pure water (at normal temperature and pressure) then the ratio is the specific gravity.

How the ratio of volume is related to ratio of sides of similar cubes?
The ratio of volumes is directly proportional to the cube of the ratio of their sides. And, incidentally, all cubes are similar.
What is 4 percent as a ratio strength?
The ratio is 1:25 4 percent as a ratio is 0.04 : 1
What is ratio of densities?
If the second substance if water, then it is specific gravity. Otherwise, it is just relative density.
What is the importance of knowing the densities of substance?
All matter has density, which is the ratio of an objectâ??s mass to its volume. Knowing the densities of substances will help to better understand the concepts involved in buoyancy, radiation shielding, heat insulation and ballast.
What are some examples of physical quantities that do not have units?
This often happens if you take the ratio of two quantities. In that case, the units disappear. For example:* A coefficient of friction, defined as the ratio between two forces * The specific gravity, defined as a ratio between two densities
What does density tell you about salt water?
The density of a salt water solution compared against the densities of "pure" water and salt provides an approximate value of the ratio of water to salt in the mixture.
Which has the higher density one bushel of apples or ten bushels of apples?
That would be a trick question. Their densities would be the same, since density is not a measurement of volume, but a ratio involving volume.
How many pounds in 1L?
Pounds measure weight, and liters measure volume, so they do not have a fixed ratio. You need to know what liquid you are measuring, as different liquids have different weights and densities.
If liquids have different densities than why is a cup always 8 fluid ounces?
density is a ratio of volume vs. mass, fluid ounces are a measurment of volume only... no mass involved.
Why specific gravity has no unit or dimensionless?
Because it's the ratio of two densities ... the density of the substance of interest to the density of water. In any ratio, the units of both quantities are the same, so the ratio winds up being a dimensionless number.
What is agricultural productivity?
It is measured as the ratio of agricultural outputs to agricultural inputs. While individual products are usually measured by weight, their varying densities make measuring overall agricultural output difficult.
What is the meaning of suspicious densities?
suspicious densities are seen in both upper lobe
Names of the five elements with the highest densities?
names of the five elements with the highist densities
Why does specific heat has the same numerical value in metric and british systems?
Specific heat is dimensionless, and dimensionless units have the same value in any system. Specific heat is the ratio between two densities - that of the substance considered, and that of water. The ratio of two quantities of the same dimension will naturally be a dimensionless number.
