1. Ethylene glycol has a density of 1.11 grams/ cubic centimeter. What is the specific gravity of ethylene glycol?

A. 1.11 grams B. 1.11 C. 0.11 D. 11.0

Solution: Specific gravity is the density of a material divided by the density of water. Water has a density of 1 gram/cubic centimeter. SG= density of material = 1.11 = 1.11 Density of water 1 The 1.11 answer alone is correct because SG is unitless.

The correct solution is B.
