Question

A glucose solution has a density of 1.02g/mL. what is the specific gravity?

Answer 1

Answer:- Specific gravity of glucose solution is 1.02.

Solution:- Specific gravity is the ratio of the compound density with water density, means how denser the compound solution is as compared to water.

specific gravity = $\frac{glucose density}{water density}$

density of glucose is given as 1.02 g per mL and water density is 1.00 g per mL.

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

specific gravity = $\frac{1.02}{1.00}$  = 1.02

So, the specific gravity of glucose is 1.02. It indicates that glucose is 1.02 times more denser than water.
