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).
