Answer: The volume of solution that was used is 271.08 mL
Explanation:
The relationship between specific gravity and density of a substance is given as:
[tex]\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}[/tex]
We are given:
Specific gravity of water = 0.830
Density of water = 1.00 g/mL
Putting values in above equation we get:
[tex]0.830=\frac{\text{Density of solution}}{1.00g/mL}\\\\\text{Density of solution}=(0.830\times 1.00g/mL)=0.830g/mL[/tex]
To calculate the volume of solution, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}[/tex]
Density of solution = 0.830 g/mL
Mass of solution = 225 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]0.830g/mL=\frac{225g}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{225g}{0.830g/mL}=271.08mL[/tex]
Hence, the volume of solution that was used is 271.08 mL
