4 0

306.0g/22.5mL= 13.6 mL/g
D=m/v
The mass is 306.0
The volume is 13.6

<u>Answer:</u> The density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the density of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}$

We are given:

Mass of mercury = 306.0 g

Volume of mercury = 22.5 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Density of mercury}=\frac{306.0g}{22.5mL}\\\\\text{Density of mercury}=13.6g/mL$

Hence, the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL
