Correct Answer: density of the substance to the density of the water at 4 o C.


Solution : The correct answer is the density of the substance to the density of the water at 4 o C .

Specific gravity is described as the ratio of a substance's density to that of water at 4°C (39.2°F). It is a dimensionless quantity, which means it lacks units. The density of different substances can be compared using specific gravity. A material having a specific gravity of 2.0, for example, is twice as dense as water.
