What is the specific gravity of a liquid sample with a mass of 35.0 g and a volume of 14.00 mL?
A)14.0 g/mL
B)2.50 g/mL
C)21.0
D)14.0
E)2.50

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water. The density of the liquid is mass/volume = 35.0 g / 14.00 mL = 2.50 g/mL. Since the density of water is 1 g/mL, the specific gravity is 2.50.
