Asample of gasoline has a mass of 595.0 lb and a volume of 14.0 ft^3. what is its specific gravity?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

            mass of gasoline = 595.0 lb

            volume of gasoline =

As it is known that density is the amount of mass of a substance divided by its volume.

So, density of gasoline will be as follows.

                Density =

                              =

                              = 42.5

As, 1 lb = 0.4536 kg and 1 ft = 0.3048 m. Now, putting these values into the above equation (1) as follows.

                       Density = 42.5

                                     =

                                     = 680.792    

                                     = 680.8 (approx)

Density of water is 1000 . To measure specific gravity of gasoline, the formula will be as follows.

               specific gravity of gasoline =    

                                         =

                                         = 0.681

Thus, we can conclude that the specific gravity of gasoline is 0.681.

oh it is true if thats what you are asking
