Answer : The volume of honey in the jar will be 445.714 mL
Explanation :
Specific gravity : It is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance with the density of a standard (water).
\(\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of substance}}{\text{Density of water}}\)
As we know that the density of water is, 1 g/mL.
Given :
Specific gravity of honey = 1.40
Mass of honey = 624 g
First we have to determine the density of honey.
\(\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of honey}}{\text{Density of water}}\)
\(\text{Density of honey}=\text{Specific gravity}\times \text{Density of water}\)
\(\text{Density of honey}=1.40\times 1g/mL=1.40g/mL\)
Now we have to determine the volume of honey in the jar.
Formula used :
\(\text{Density of honey}=\frac{\text{Mass of honey}}{\text{Volume of honey}}\)
\(\text{Density of honey}=\frac{624g}{1.40g/mL}=445.714mL\)
Therefore, the volume of honey in the jar will be 445.714 mL
