Question

The density of mercury (hg, a liquid metal) is 13.6 g/ml. how much would 18.0 ml of mercury weigh?

Answer 1

Density of Mercury = 13.6 g/ml

Volume of mercury = 18.0 ml

Weight of Mercury = ?

By using the formula

Density = Mass / Volume or

D = M / V

M = D x V

Putting the values of D and V

M = 13.6g/ml x 18.0ml

M = 244.8 g

So the Mercury weighs 244.8 g
