Question

Mercury, also known as quicksilver, is a metallic element and a liquid at room temperature. Calculate mercury's density if a sample of mercury is found to have a mass of 685.0685.0 g and a volume of 51.3951.39 mL. density: g/mL

Answer 1

13.33g/mL is mercury's density

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance is defined as the ratio between the mass of the substance and the space that occupy. We can express the density of mercury in g/mL:

Grams mercury: 685.0g

Volume = 51.39mL

That means the density of the mercury is:

685.0g / 51.39mL

13.33g/mL is mercury's density
