Answer to Question #148034 in General Chemistry for Javier

Question

A liquid has a volume of 40.5 mL and a mass of 44.6 g . What is the specific gravity of the liquid?

Answer 1

density of liquid = (mass / volume)

density of liquid = (44.6/40.5) g/mL = 1.101g/mL

density of water = 1g/mL

specific gravity = $\frac{density\ of\ liquid}{density\ of\ water}$

specific gravity = 1.101
