The density of a material is its unique property which is different for different substances. The volume or mass of a compound can be determined from the other given mass of a compound, if the density of both the material is available. We know density of a material is equal to the mass per unit volume. From the given data 13.6 g of mercury has 1 cm³ volume. Thus 28.5g of mercury will have \frac{28.5}{13.6}=2.095 cm³ volume. Now as per the given density value of lead 11.4g of lead has 1 cm³ volume. Thus 2.095 cm³ volume of lead has (2.095×11.4)=23.889g.

Develop a demonstration to show how mass is not the same thing as weight
pychu [463]

This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.

Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:

f_g = mg

where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.

Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars

g_E = 9.81 m/s^2\\g_F = 3.711 m/s^2

Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:

m*9.81 : m*3.711 \\\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx 9.81 \neq 3.711\\f_g E \neq f_g F\\

If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.

Calcium and bromine have formed a bond. Leading up to this, calcium gave up electrons. It was a(n)
scZoUnD [109]
Leading up to this, calcium gave up 2 valence electrons and thus was denoted as a cation. These 2 electrons were transferred to bromine, which received an overall negative charge because of the addition of 2 valence electrons in its valence shell, and thus formed a negatively charged ion, an anion.

Both formed an ionic bond, due to the electrostatic charge of attraction between the 2 oppositely charged ions. If many ions of Ca and Br are present and numerous ionic bonds have formed it will undergo an arrangement which is that of an ionic lattice, type of structure.
