Answer:

The density of the mercury is 13.2 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is a measurement that compares the amount of matter an object

has to its volume

Density is equal to mass divided by volume

We need to find the density of mercury if 500 cm³ has a mass of

6.60 kg in g/cm

We must to change The kilogram to grams

The mass of mercury is 6.60 kilograms

1 kilogram = 1000 grams

6.60 kilograms = 6.60 × 1000 = 6600 grams

Density = mass ÷ volume

The volume of the mercury is 500 cm³

The density = 6600 ÷ 500

The density = 13.2 g/cm³

The density of the mercury is 13.2 g/cm³
