Question
Chapter 1, Problem 67P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The specific gravity of urine needs to be determined. It is to be explained if it is considered normal or not.
Concept Introduction: The specific gravity is defined as the ration of density of a substance to density of water.
The density is calculated as follows:
Here, m is mass and V is volume.

A solution contains 15 ppm of benzene. The density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL. This means that
there are 15 mg of benzene in 1.0 g of this solution
O 100 g of the solution contains 15 g of benzene
O 1.0 g of the solution contains 15 × 10-6 g of benzene
O 1.0 L of the solution contains 15 g of benzene

A small bottle of Coke contains 8 fluid ounces, or 237 mL, of soda.
The nutrition label states that it contains 26 g of sugars. Assume
that all of the sugar is sucrose, C12H22011. Assume that the
density of the solution is 1 g/mL so that the solution also weighs
237 g.
What is the mass percent of sugar in this solution?
24.6%

The concentration of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) in the blood is sometimes used as a screening test for possible prostate cancer in men. The value is normally reported as the number of nanograms of PSA per milliliter of blood. A PSA concentration of 1.7 ng/mL1.7 ng/mL is considered low. Express that value in terms of the units shown.
PSA= g/L
PSA= kg/m3
PSA= mg/L
