Answer:

volume = 74.07 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a substance given the density and mass can be found by using the formula


volume = (mass)/(Density)

From the question

Density = 13.5 g/cm³

We must first convert the mass from kg to g

1kg = 1000 g

mass of mercury = 1000 g

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

That's


volume = (1000)/(13.5)

We have the final answer as

volume = 74.07 cm³

Hope this helps you
