Question

The specific gravity of a fuel oil is 0.82, what is the weight (in grams) of 700 ml of this fuel ?

Answer 1

Water has a specific gravity of 1.00 and weighs 1000 gms per liter or 1000 gms per 1000 ml.  So 700 ml of water weighs 700 gms and 700 ml of fuel oil weighs 0.82 x 700 gms = 574 gms.
