Question

A concentrated salt solution has a mass of 5.29 g for a 5.00 mL sample. What is the specific gravity of this solution

Answer 1

Answer:

$\rho_s=1.07g/cc^3$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $M=5.29g$

Volume $V=5.00mL=>5.0cc^3$

Generally the equation for Specific Gravity momentum is mathematically given by

$Specific\ Gravity\ g= Density\ of\ Salt\ Solution\ \rho_s / Density\ of\ Water\ \rho_w$

 $g=\frac{ \rho_s} { \rho_w}$

 $\rho_s=\frac{ g} { \rho_w}$

 $\rho_s=\frac{ 5.29} { 5}$

 $\rho_s=1.07g/cc^3$
