Pharmacist requires acetone to be used in a product. What volume (in pint unit) of acetone will be obtained if its weight is 2195 grams and the specific gravity is 0.79 ?
Click on the button below to see the answer and explanations
lb equals 5.87 pint kg
-
Weight of acetone in grams = 2195
Specific gravity of acetone = 0.79
Dividing the weight in gram with the specific gravity will give us the volume in mL. Therefore, the volume is ` 2195 / 0.79 = 2778.48 mL. `
1 fl. oz. equals 29.57 mL, and 1 pint equals 16 fl. oz.
Using dimensional analysis:
`2778.48 mL × (1 fl. oz.)/(29.57 mL) × (1 pint)/(16 fl. oz.) `
Therefore, the answer is 5.87 pint in pint unit.
