An empty bottle has a mass of 35.00 grams. When filled with water, it has a mass of 98.44 grams. Of the same bottle is filled with a different fluid, the mass is 89.22 grams. What is the specific gravity of this other fluid

Specific gravity of other fluid = .854 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of water = 35 g

Mass of filled bottle with water = 98.44 g

Mass of filled bottle with fluid = 89.22 g

Computation:

Mass of water = 98.44g - 35g = 63.44g

Density of water = 1000 g/L

Volume of bottle = 63.44/1000 = 0.06344L

Mass of other liquid = 89.22g - 35g = 54.22g

Density of other liquid = 54.22g/0.06344L = 854.665826 g/L

Water has a specific gravity = 1

So ,  specific gravity of other fluid

1000 / 854.665826 = 1 / specific gravity of other fluid

Specific gravity of other fluid = .854 (Approx)
