What is the difference between the density and relative density of a substance?

✓

Answer

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

Density of substance $=\frac{\text{mass or substance}}{\text{volume of substance}}$
SI unit of density is $kg/m^3.$

Relative density: The relative density of a substance is the ratio of its density to that of water.

Relative Density of substance $=\frac{\text{Density of substance}}{\text{Density of water}}$
It has no unit
