Density (d) is mass per unit volume of a
substance
grams per cubic centimeter (g/cc)
gram is defined as the mass of 1 cc of water at
4C,
The density of water is 1 g/cc.
United States Pharmacopeia (USP) = 1 mL may
be used as the equivalent of 1 cc,
The density of water may be expressed as 1
g/mL.
one milliliter of mercury weighs 13.6 g; hence,
its density is 13.6 g/mL.
2 x 29.57 mL = 59.14 mL
59.14 mL of water weigh 59.14 g
59.14 x 1.118 = 66.12 g
Milliliters = Grams/Specific gravity
Volume of 25 g of glycerin/Volume of 25 g of
water
20 (mL) / 25 (mL) = 0.8
What is the specific volume of phosphoric acid
having a specific gravity of 1.71?
1/1.71 = 0.585
