Question

The density of mercury is 13.5 g/ml. what is the mass in kg of mercury that fills a 0.250-l flask?

Answer 1

Density of water = 1 (1 g / ml)

.25 L = 250 ml (milleters)

mass of flask = 250 ml * 1 g / ml = 250 g (water to fill flask)

Equivalent mass of Hg = 13.5 * 250 g = 3375 g = 3.375 kg
