Question

Mercury has a density of 13.56 g/ml. What is the volume in L of 52 kg of mercury?

Answer 1

Hello!

Given the density of mercury being 13.57 g/mL, and the mass of 52 kilograms, we need to find the volume.

To find the volume, we need to divide mass by density (V = m/d).

Notice that you are given 52 kilograms, but not grams. To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply it by 1000.

52 x 1000 = 52000 grams

With the correct measurements, we can find the volume.

V = 52000 grams / 13.56 grams/milliliter

V ≈ 3834.80826

Therefore, the volume of the mercury is about 3,834.81 mL.
