Answer to Question #228510 in General Chemistry for jims

Question

A liquid has a specific gravity of 0.90 at 25 °C. What is its 

a. density at 25 °C in kg/m³? 

b. specific volume at 25 °C in ft³/lb? 

c. If the liquid is placed in a 1.5-L bottle that has a mass of 232 g, how much will the full bottle weigh? 

Answer 1

Specific gravity is the density of a substance divided by the density of water.

Density of the liquid $=0.90×1000=900Kg/m^3$

Specific volume $=\frac{1}{900}=0.0011m^3$

$=0.000069ft^3/lb$
