A bottle containing 225 g of cleaning solution is used to clean hospital equipment. It's specific gravity is 0.830, what is the volume in millimeters of solution was used

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:

We are given:

Specific gravity of water = 0.830

Density of water = 1.00 g/mL

Putting values in above equation we get:

To calculate the volume of solution, we use the equation:

Density of solution = 0.830 g/mL

Mass of solution = 225 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the volume of solution that was used is 271.08 mL
