...|^J = .8. Ans. 22. Specific Gravity of Gases. — The specific gravity of a gas is found by dividing the weight of a given volume of the gas by the weight of an equal volume of air or hydrogen. Air is usually taken as the standard for gases, but hydrogen is sometimes used. Water... | |

...substance one-sixteenth as heavy as oxygen. To obtain a gas density, therefore, it is necessary to divide the weight of a given volume of the gas by the weight of an equal volume of oxygen at the same pressure and temperature, and multiply the result by 16. Vapor density is the same as gas... | |
