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 mass of 50.0 mL of Sulfuric acid whose density is 1.8 g/mL.

3. A pycnometer weighs 25.2 g, when filled with water, the combined weight is 50.8 g.
What is the combined weight after the pycnometer is emptied of water and the filled
with syrup (density = 1.31 g/mL).

4. Calculate the volume of 45.0 g of methanol (sp. gr. = 0.790).

5. A pycnometer weighs 38.6 g, when filled with water, it weighs 53.1 g and when filled
with solid sample, it weighs 48.35 g. The combined weight pycnometer with water and
solid is 56.30g.
A. What the weight of liquid displaced?
D. what is the specific gravity of the solid?

6. A pycnometer weighs 50.0 g. When filled with water, it weighs 100.0 g and when filled
with oil, it weighs 95.2 g. What is the specific gravity of the oil?
