Question

If the density of water is 0.9910 g/mL, what is the specific gravity of a sugar solution if its density is 1.150 g/mL ?

Answer 1

Specific gravity=$\frac{Density of Sugar}{Density of Water}$

$\rho$ of sugar= 1.150 g/ml

$\rho$ of water=0.9910g/ml

=$\frac{1.150}{0.9910}$

=1.16

Specific gravity=1.16
