Answer : The mass of mercury required is, 816 grams.

Solution : Given,

Density of mercury =
13.6g/cm^3

Volume of mercury =
2ounce=2* 30=60cm^3

conversion :


(1ounce=30cm^3)

Formula used :


Density=(Mass)/(Volume)

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of mercury.


13.6g/cm^3=(Mass)/(60cm^3)


Mass=816g

Therefore, the mass of mercury required is, 816 grams.

To determine the mass of a substance given the volume, we can use the density by multiplying it to the volume. We calculate as follows:

Mass = 2.0 oz ( 30 cm^3 / 1 oz ) ( 13.6 g / cm^3)
Mass = 816 g of mercury

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
