1.1088 WHAT?
There are no units after 1.088 in the problem it just says a specific gravity of 1.088 at room temperature.
I apologize. Specific gravity has no units; I inadvertently read it as density. My error.
Since no temperature is specified, we must assume specific gravity to be the same as density; therefore, density = 1.1088 g/mL.
1.0 kg ethylene glycol = 1,000 grams.
mass = volume x density or
volume = mass/density = 1,000/1.1088 = ??
For the second part, convert 1 lb to grams and substitute as above.
NOTE: I see you wrote 1.1088 in the first response and 1.088 in the second one (twice). Use the correct value; whatever that number is.
