The density of water at 30.0 °C is 0.9956 g/mL. If the specific gravity of acetic acid is 0.1040 at 30.0 °C, what is the density of acetic acid at 30.0 °C?
what is osmosis
The tendency of water/solvent to flow from concentrations where solute concentrations are high across a membrane to concentrations where solute concentrations are low to give an equal water/solvent to solute ratio on both sides of the membrane.
This looks reversed to me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmosis
Water flows from low solute concns to high solute concns; it's making the higher concns more dilute in order to equalize the concns on both sides of the membrane.
He's right it's from low solute to high. It was late and I was tired.
To find the density of acetic acid at 30.0 °C, we need to understand the concept of specific gravity.
Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (usually water). In other words, it compares the density of a substance to the density of water.
Given that the specific gravity of acetic acid is 0.1040, we can use this information to find the density of acetic acid at 30.0 °C.
The specific gravity of acetic acid is given by the formula:
Specific Gravity = Density of Acetic Acid / Density of Water
We are given the density of water at 30.0 °C as 0.9956 g/mL.
Now, let's rearrange the formula to solve for the density of acetic acid:
Density of Acetic Acid = Specific Gravity * Density of Water
Plugging in the values:
Density of Acetic Acid = 0.1040 * 0.9956 g/mL
Calculating this expression will give us the density of acetic acid at 30.0 °C.
Specific gravity (S.G.)=Density of acetic acid/density of H2O
Solve for density of acetic acid.
S.G.* density of H2O=density of acetic acid
(0.1040*(0.9956 g/mL)=S.G.
