    1. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (usually water), while density expresses the mass per unit volume of a substance. 2. An experiment measured 54.96 mL of oil weighing 50.00 g, calculating the specific gravity of the oil to be 0.9603. 3. Another experiment used a pycnometer to determine the specific gravity of oil was 0.8800 based on the pycnometer weighing 94.00 g when filled with oil and 100.00 g when filled with water.

    Experiment 3 Specific Gravity of Liquids and Solids

    APPLICATION
    1. Differentiate specific gravity and density.
    Specific gravity is a unit-less value. It is the ratio of the density of a substance and
    the density of reference substance having the same volume. Density is an intrinsic
    property of a substance expressing the weight in grams per mL of the substance.
    2. If 54.96 mL of oil weighs 50.00 g, what is the specific gravity?
    Solution:
    mass oil
    density oil volume ol
    Specific Gravity= =
    density water mass oil
    volume water

    52.78 g
    54.96 mL
    Specific Gravity= =0.9603

    1 mL

    3. A pycnometer weighs 50.00 g. When filled with water, it weighs 100.00 g. When filled with oil,
    it weighs 94.00 g. Determine the specific gravity of the oil.
    Solution:
    Mass of empty pycnometer = 50.00 g
    Mass of pycnometer + water = 100.00 g
    Mass of Pycnometer + oil = 94.00 g

    Mass oil =mass pycnometer +oil massempty pycnometer

    Mass oil =94.00 g50.00 g=44 grams

    Masswater = masspycnometer +water mass empty pycnometer

    Mass water =100.00 g50.00 g=50 grams

    massoil
    Specific Gravity=
    masswater

    44.00 g
    Specific Gravity= =0.8800
    50.00 g

    4. An insoluble powder weighs 12.00 g. A pycnometer, weighing 21.00 g when empty, weighs
    121.00 g when filled with water. When the powder is introduced into the emptied pycnometer,
    and the pycnometer is filled with water, the three together weigh 130.00 g. What is the specific
    gravity of the powder?
    Solution:
    Mass of insoluble powder = 12.00 g
    Mass of empty pycnometer = 21.00 g
    Mass of pycnometer + water = 121.00 g
    Mass of pycnometer + insoluble powder + water = 130.00 g
    Mass of pycnometer + insoluble powder = 33.00 g

    mass pycnometer+insoluble water +water +mass pycnometer+insolube powder


    ( mass pycnometer+ watermassempty pycnometer )
    mass pycnometer +insolublewater mass empty pycnometer
    Specific Gravity=

    Specific Gravity= =4.00
