Answer:
3.72 mol Hg
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Using Dimensional Analysis
- Density = Mass over Volume
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
D = 13.6 g/mL
54.8 mL Hg
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Find</u>
13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL
x = 745.28 g Hg
<u>Step 4: Convert</u>
<u /> = 3.71544 mol Hg
<u>Step 5: Check</u>
<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>
3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg
