Question

An empty beaker weighs 39.09 g

Answer 1

To work out the volume of something from its density, use the compound measures triangle: mass over density and volume. To find volume that the beaker holds, divide the mass by the density. V = (388.15 - 39.09)/1. V = 349.06g/cm3. To find the weight of the beaker and the contents, first work out the weight (mass) of the mercury, with this formula: mass = d x v. M = 13.5 x 349.06. M = 4712.31. Then add on the weight of the beaker (39.09g). The total weight is 4751.40g.
