Question

What is the density of mercury if 67.67g fills a 2mL graduated cylinder? Include the unit

for full credit (remember the unit is mass unit /volume unit).

Answer 1

`Density = 33835kg/m^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`Mass = 67.67g`

`Volume = 2mL`

Required

Determine the density

`Density = (Mass)/(Volume)`

First, we need to convert mass to kg

`Mass = 67.67g`

`Mass = (67.67kg)/(1000)`

`Mass = 0.06767kg`

Next, we need to convert volume to m^3

`Volume = 2mL`

`Volume = 2 * 10^(-6)m^3`

Density is then calculated as follows:

`Density = (0.06767)/(2 * 10^(-6))`

`Density = (0.06767 * 10^6)/(2)`

`Density = (67670)/(2)`

`Density = 33835kg/m^3`
