Question

What is the volume of a sample of mercury having a mass of 1.0 kg if the density of mercury is 13.5g/cm3?

Answer 1

Answer:

volume = 74.07 cm³

Explanation:

The volume of a substance given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

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

From the question

Density = 13.5 g/cm³

We must first convert the mass from kg to g

1kg = 1000 g

mass of mercury = 1000 g

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

That's

$volume = \frac{1000}{13.5}$

We have the final answer as

volume = 74.07 cm³
