PRACTICE SET: DENSITY AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY 1. If a prescription order requires 25.0 g of conc HCl (density 1.18 g/mL), what volume should the pharmacist measure? 2. Calculate the weight of 50.0 mL of sulfuric acid whose density if 1.80 g/mL. 3. 80.45 g of a substance weighs 71.43 g in water, what is its specific gravity? 4. What is the specific gravity of potassium dichromate if a piece weighs 5.75 g in air and 3.08 g in oil of turpentine (0.860)? 5. A piece of paraffin weighs 17.4g. A piece of brass loses by immersion in water 0.600g. When the brass is attached to the paraffin, both lose by immersion in water 20.6g. What is the specific gravity of paraffin? 6. 20.0g of citric acid (sp gr 1.600) was immersed in an oil and filled into a 25.0 g pycnometer. Their combined weight is 125.5 g. When the pycnometer is filled with the oil alone it weighs 117.0 g, what is the specific gravity of the oil? 7. A piece of silver which weighs 27.675g in air displaced 2.70mL of water. What is the specific gravity of silver? 8. A pycnometer weighs 25.2 g, when filled with water, the combined weight is 50.82 g. What is the combined weight after the pycnometer is emptied of water and the filled with syrup (sp gr 1.31)? 9. 1403 g of nitric acid occupies a volume of one liter, what is its specific volume? 10. A 19.3 g object weighs 52.5 g with a sinker. Together they weigh 11.1 g in water. The sinker alone weighs 13.1 g in water. What is the specific gravity of the object? What is its specific volume?
