1 tsp contains medicine = 5 mL  

So,1.5 tsp contains medicine = 1.5 tsp x 5ml  

                                              = 7.5 ml  

Specific gravity = 1.23 g ml⁻¹  

Mass of the cold medicine= 7.5 × 1.23  g

                                             = 9.2 g

So, mass of the cold medicine was found to be 9.2 g.

So, a children's liquid cold medicine that has a specific gravity of 1.23. If a child take 1.5 tsp in a dose, the mass (in grams) of the cold medicine was found to be 9.2 g .

Assume 1 tsp is approximately can hold 5 mL liquid.

Given the dose of medicine = 1.5 tsp

Converting 1.5 tsp to mL:

1.5 tsp * \frac{5 mL}{1 tsp} = 7.5 mL

Given the specific gravity of the medicine = 1.23

That means density of the medicine with respect to water will be 1.23

As the density of water is 1 g/mL

We can take density of the medicine to be 1.23 g/mL

Calculating the mass of medicine in grams:

7.5 mL * \frac{1.23 g}{mL} =9.225 g

9.225 g medicine is present in one dose.

Benzene has a specific gravity of 0.88. if it was spilled in a river what would it do?
Gelneren [198K]
As we know,
                    Density of Benzene  =  876 Kg/m³
And,
                    Density of Water       =  997 Kg/m³
So,
     Specific Gravity is calculated as,

                     Specific Gravity  =  Density of Benzene / Density of Water

                     Specific Gravity    =   876 Kg/m³ / 997 Kg/m³

                     Specific Gravity    =  0.878

Every object having specific gravity less than 1 will float on water and if value is greater than 1 then it will sink.

Benzene being non-polar in nature does not mix with water and due to less density it will float on the surface of water.

How might an increasing population of robins positively and negatively affect a community?
Oliga [24]

All populations of living things are interrelated. When one population of animals, plants, or insects increase or decrease, other populations of living things are also affected. For example, when shrubs and brushy areas are removed from an ecosystem, the rabbit population will likely go down. The reduced rabbit population will lower predator populations that use rabbits as a food source.

In another example, let's assume all the dead hollow trees are removed from a forest ecosystem. Cavity nesting animals such as bluebirds, nuthatch, wrens, screech owls, squirrels and woodpeckers have very little, if any, shelter available. The number of animals of this type would be reduced. Insect populations could increase because of fewer insect eating birds and trees and other plants could be negatively affected. The whole ecosystem is affected.

The amount of suitable habitat for a species of wildlife will determine the number of animals that can survive in the area. Human activity has the greatest impact on the amount and quality of wildlife habitat in Illinois. Wildlife habitat can be destroyed or its quality diminished as a result of urban sprawl, agricultural practices, pollution, sedimentation, or habitat fragmentation.

People can also have a positive impact on wildlife populations through improvement and protection of habitat or ecosystems. The planting of trees and shrubs, as well as wildlife food plots, in the appropriate locations is one way landowners can improve wildlife habitat. People can protect ponds, streams, rivers and wetlands from sedimentation by reducing soil erosion on lands surrounding these aquatic ecosystems. Nesting boxes placed in ecosystems that lack dead, hollow trees will enhance the habitat for cavity nesting animals. There are many things people can do to improve habitat for wildlife.

There are a number of natural resource management agencies in Illinois that can help people enhance and protect wildlife habitat. Listed below are a few of the public agencies which can provide ecosystem management expertise to people in Illinois.
