Answer :

Specific gravity refers to the ratio between the density of a given substance and the density of a reference substance at the same temperature.

What is specific gravity?

Specific gravity of HCl given is 1.16. Specific gravity of a substance determine whether object floats or sink. Specific gravity determines the density of minerals.

SG=  density of HCl/ density of water.

density of HCl = 1.16 * 1.00 g/ ml = 1.16 g/ml.

Mass of HCl = 1+35.5 = 36.5 gram.

Density of substance = mass / volume.

1.16 = Mass/ 36.5

Mass= 1.16* 36.5

Mass= 42.34 grams.

Therefore, Specific gravity refers to the ratio between the density of a given substance and the density of a reference substance at the same temperature.
