Question

a thermometer containing 8.3g of mercury has broken. if mercury ha a density of 13.6g/mL. what volume is spilled?

Answer 1

D = m / V

13.6 = 8.3 / V

V = 8.3 / 13.6

V = 0.610 mL

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: The volume of mercury spilled is 0.61 ml.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

$Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}$

Given : Mass of mercury= 8.3 grams

Density of mercury= $13.6g/ml$

Putting in the values we get:

$13.6g/ml=\frac{8.3g}{Volume}$

$Volume=0.61ml$

Thus the volume of mercury spilled is 0.61 ml.
