 The specific gravity of a gas may be defined as the ratio of the weight of a given volume of gas to the weight of an equal volume of air measured at the same temperature and pressure. The specific gravity of a dry gas referred to dry air is, for all practical...  Inorganic Quantitative Analysis - Page 96by Harold Athelstane Fales - 1925 - 493 pagesFull view - About this book

...temperature of 4° C. at the latitude of Paris. By specific gravity or specific weight we understand the ratio of the weight of a given volume of substance to the weight of the same volume of pure water as the standard. In many other cases water is taken as one of the elements in comparison,... | |
