Specific Gravity/Mass PLEASE HELP URGENTTTT!!

Question

The specific gravity of blood at 20 degrees Celsius is given as 1.028. Determine the mass of 1.50 litres of blood in grams and kilograms

Answer 1

We are given that the specific gravity is 1.028 grams/milliliter

There are 1.5L or 1500milliliters

 

Part 1: 1500ml x 1.028g/ml = 1542g

 

Part 2: 1 kilogram = 1000g

so, 1542g ÷ 1000g/Kg = 1.542Kg
