Suppose the density of 100.0 mL of some liquid was found to be .78 g/mL . What would be the specific gravity of 25.0 mL of the liquid?

specific gravity = density.
But it is saying the soecifc gravity of 25.0 mL of the liquid so the density changes. That's what threw me off... It wouldn't equal the density
The specific gravity of 25 mL is the same as the specific gravity of 20000000 mL. Specific gravity is specific gravity and density is density. density = mass/volume. The larger the mass the larger the volume and the quotient is the same.
To reiterate, the density of something does NOT change with volume. The density of 25 mL is the same as the density of 100 mL and that's the same as a zillion gallons of the stuff.
