Answer: The volume of solution that was used is 271.08 mL

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:

Specific gravity of water = 0.830

Density of water = 1.00 g/mL

Putting values in above equation we get:


0.830=\frac{\text{Density of solution}}{1.00g/mL}\\\\\text{Density of solution}=(0.830* 1.00g/mL)=0.830g/mL

To calculate the volume of solution, we use the equation:


\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of solution = 0.830 g/mL

Mass of solution = 225 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:


0.830g/mL=\frac{225g}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=(225g)/(0.830g/mL)=271.08mL

Hence, the volume of solution that was used is 271.08 mL
