The volume of the substance is 61.4 litres.
Explanation:
Specific density is the ratio of density of a substance at a given temperature with the density of reference substance.
Data given:
mass = 750 grams
specific gravity = 12.2
volume=?
The formula to be used:
Specific gravity = [tex]\frac{density of the object}{density of the reference substance}[/tex]
suppose the other substance is water so its density is 1g/ml at 4 degrees
Putting the values to the equation:
density of the object = 1 x12.2
density of the substance = 12.2
Now using the formula:
density = [tex]\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
putting the values in the equation:
volume = [tex]\frac{750}{12.2}[/tex]
= 61.4ml is the volume of the substance.
