According to google, one gallon equals 8.36 pounds. I took 8.36and divided by 0.00590 and got 1416.94915254 So if rounded to the nearest hundreth, 1416.95. I have no idea if I'm right. Sorry I couldn't do more!
Ca-Cl is an ionic bond. We know this because the difference between their electronegativities is 2.16.The electronegativity tells us which atom will attract the electron more than the other. Hence, chlorine attracts the electron a lot more than the calcium.A difference of more than 1.6 (or 1.7 depending on the source) implies that the electrons are so unevenly shared, that the bond is ionic, rather than polar covalent.
Specific gravity is the ratio of density of substance and density of water
We know that density of water = 1 g /mL at standard conditions
now as given that the 0.8 Kg of the substance / object is able to displace 500mL of water , it means that
Mass of object = 800g
The volume occupied by 800g of object = 500 mL
Density = mass / volume
Density of object = 800 / 500= 1.6 g / mL
The specific gravity of object = density of object / density of water = 1.6 / 1 = 1.6 (no units)
