Correct question
The density of liquid mercury is 13.6 g/mL. What is its density in units of lb/in3? (2.5 cm = 1 in., 2.205 lbs= 1 kg., 1000 g =1 kg, 1 mL = 1 cm³)
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that;-
The density = 13.6 g/mL
Also, 1 kg = 2.205 lb
1 kg = 1000 g
So, 1000 g = 2.205 lb
1 g = 0.002205 lb
Also,
1 in = 2.54 cm
1 in³ = 16.39 cm³
1 cm³ = 1 mL
So, 1 in³ = 16.39 mL
1 mL = 0.061 in³
The expression for the calculation of density is shown below as:-
Thus,
