I have a tutor for this but as we went over a lot, I forgot this part of the lesson.

Alcohol has a specfic gravity of 0.78 gcm³. What volume would 83g occupy?

The only thing I can recall is him saying about conversions...g/cm³ * cm³/g or something like that...

[Mitch]

Should say 0.78 g/cm³

[AngelShare]

Yeah, I missed the "/", sorry.

[Mitch]

A proper conversion factor can be found here: http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?page=miscellaneous#Conversion%20Factors

Whether you will be competent enough to use it, is the question.

Let us know if you need further help.

Well, Miss. Incompetent is back and her face looks something like this:  

  I'm terrible with this, it's literally my weakest subject. I look at the information and I get really panicked, it's like I need Hooked on Phonics but for Chemistry.

You've got all the info you need in the question.  

You don't need any conversion factors, don't confuse people Mitch.

The density or specific gravity of the alcohol is 0.78g/cm3 or 0.78g/ml

1ml  weighs 0.78g
or
1g is (1/0.78)ml  

You want to know the volume of 83g

Alcohol has a specfic gravity of 0.78 gcm³. What volume would 83g occupy?

Shouldn't specific gravity be unitless? It is after-all a ratio of 2 densities.

[Blueshawk]

Yes it is dimensionless   because it is relative to water .
so a specific gravity is really  0.78.  when you say  0.78 g/ml it is relative to water at 1 g/ml

so (.78 g/ml)/(1 g/ml) = 0.78

go to wikipedia.org for more info, search "specific gravity"
