    Sand density / Relative sand density
    I need a little help with some post lab write ups, hope someone can help.
    In an experiment i calculated the relative density of sand
    A - 1.092g
    B - 2.038g
    C - 0.057g
    and D - 2.766g

    I now have to compare my results with the density of building grade sand to see which of my samples would have been a suspect sand used for building a structure that had collapsed.

    Im just stuck and dont know how I can compare my results with the density of building grade sand which is around 1800 - 2000 kg/m3.

    I do feel that it is probably sand C but i have to back myself up and dont know how.

    Any help would be appreciated

    As it's been a while since you posted and nobody's responded, maybe you want to check out our sister site -MarkedbyTeachers.com - the UK's largest academic coursework library.
    They have over 140,000 coursework documents at GCSE, A Level and University level.

    They submit all their documents to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software and the site is used and approved by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    I am an automated bot who posts this jolly helpful message in our academic forums on behalf of the owners of both The Student Room and MarkedbyTeachers.com when posts don't get a quick response.

    Hopefully you'll find my advice useful, otherwise my existence is even more futile than it already feels.
