If 5.1 l of antifreeze solution (specific gravity = 0.80) is added to 3.8 l of water to make a 8.9 l mixture, what is the specific gravity of the mixture?

Density of the mixture = mass of the mixture / volume of the mixture

Mass of the mixture = mass of antifreeze solution + mass of water.

Mass of antifreeze solution = density of the antifreeze solution * volume

Mass of antifreeze solution = 0.8g/ml * 5.1 l * 1000 ml / l = 4,080 g

Mass of water = density of water * volume of water = 1.0 g/ml * 3.8 l * 1000 ml / l = 3,800 g

Mass of mixture = 4080 g + 3800 g= 7880 g

Volume of mixture = volume of antifreeze solution + volume of water

Volume of mixture = 5100 ml + 3800 ml = 8900 ml

Density of mixture = 7800 g / 8900 ml = 0.876 g/ml

Specific gravity of the mixture = density of the mixture / density of water = 0.876

0.876

Sugar and water are chemically combined.(a solution is chemically combined while a mixture is mixed together without bonding the molecules)
