The density told you the mass covered by one unit of volume of that substance.

Density defines how perfectly the molecules of a substance are packed in a unit of volume.

In the given problem the substances are expressed in g/ml which means that a unit of volume will be 1 mL.

Given ,

Density of mercury = 13.546 g/ml

It means 1mL of mercury will have a mass of 13.546 g, Similarly 1 mL of ethanol will have a mass of 0.789 g.

0.350 L * 10^3 ml/1 L* 13.546/1 mL = 4,741.1 g

The volume of ethanol will have an equal mass is

4741.1 g* 1 mL/0.789g = 6,008.9 mL

6,008.9 mL* 1L/10^3mL = 6.0081 L

Hence the answer is 6.0081 L
