Question

In the lab there is a vile of mercury and it has a mass of 43.0 grams. If the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL, what is the volume (mL) of the mercury? (please show steps)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 3.16 mL

Explanation:

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

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

From the question

mass = 43 g

density = 13.6 g/mL

The volume is

$volume = \frac{43}{13.6} \\ = 3.161764$

We have the final answer as

3.16 mL

Hope this helps you
