1.0 oz of the formic acid with S.G. of 1.220 = x qt of formic acid. This was all the info that was given
Specific gravity of a substance is the relative density of that
substance with respect to density of water.
Here, Specific gravity of formic acid = 1.220
Also, denisty of water in (oz/qt) = 33.38 oz/qt
Therefore,
Also,
Here, mass of formic acid = 1.0 oz
And we found density = 40.60 oz/qt
Therefore,
Therefore, 1.0 oz of the formic acid with S.G. of 1.220 = 0.025 qt of formic acid.
