Answer: True

Explanation: Specific Gravity of a body, also called its Relative Density, is the ratio of the density of that body to the density of a reference material (usually water).

With the Mathematics done right, it is evident that the specific gravity of a body would be equal to the ratio of mass/weight of the body to the mass/weight of an equal volume of water.

S.G = (Density of body)/(Density of water)

Density of Body = (mass/weight of body)/(volume of body)

Density of water = (mass/weight of water)/(volume of water)

If volume of Body = Volume of water, then,

S.G = (Mass/Weight of body)/(Mass/Weight of equal volume of water)

Proved!!

How many molecules are in 3.94g of SO2?
IRISSAK [1]
To find the number of molecules, you need to first convert the mass into number of mol using the molar mass of SO2, simply add the atomic masses of each element and the number of times each element appears in the formula from the periodic table.

Then divide the mass by that value and then use Avogadro’s number to find the molecules.

Multiply by 6.02 x 10^23 Molecules.
