Answer: The specific gravity of glucose solution is 1.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between specific gravity and density of a substance is given as:


\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}

We are given:

Density of glucose solution = 1.02 g/mL

Density of water = 1.00 g/mL

Putting values in above equation we get:


\text{Specific gravity of glucose solution}=(1.02g/mL)/(1.00g/mL)\\\\\text{Specific gravity of glucose solution}=1.02

Hence, the specific gravity of glucose solution is 1.02

Answer is: specific gravity of glucose is 1,02.
d(glucose) = 1,02 g/ml.
d(water) = 1,00 g/ml.
Specific gravity of glucose = density of glucose ÷ density of water.
Specific gravity of glucose = 1,02 g/ml ÷ 1,00 g/ml.
Specific gravity of glucose = 1,02.
Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance (in this case glucose) to the density of a reference substance (water).
