Question

the specific gravity of honey is 1.40. if a jar of honey contain 624g of honey, calculate the volume of honey in the jar

Answer 1

Answer : The volume of honey in the jar will be 445.714 mL

Explanation :

Specific gravity : It is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance with the density of a standard (water).

$\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of substance}}{\text{Density of water}}$

As we know that the density of water is, 1 g/mL.

Given :

Specific gravity of honey = 1.40

Mass of honey = 624 g

First we have to determine the density of honey.

$\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of honey}}{\text{Density of water}}$

$\text{Density of honey}=\text{Specific gravity}\times \text{Density of water}$

$\text{Density of honey}=1.40\times 1g/mL=1.40g/mL$

Now we have to determine the volume of honey in the jar.

Formula used :

$\text{Density of honey}=\frac{\text{Mass of honey}}{\text{Volume of honey}}$

$\text{Density of honey}=\frac{624g}{1.40g/mL}=445.714mL$

Therefore, the volume of honey in the jar will be 445.714 mL

Answer 2

Just divide 659 by 1.4 

470.7 ml
