Relative Density

The density of a substance is defined as mass per unit volume.

The relative density of a substance expresses the heaviness or density of the substance in comparison to water.

For Example : Relative density of iron is 7.8 means iron is 7.8 times heavy as an equal volume of water.

Relative density has no units. Density of a substance is one of its characteristic property and is different for different substances.
