Answer :
(a) The density of mercury is, 13.6 g/ml
(b) The mass of 120.0 ml of mercury is, 1632 grams
Explanation :
(a) Now we have to calculate the density of mercury.
<u>Given :</u>
Volume of mercury = 25.0 ml
Mass of mercury = 340.0 g
Formula used :
![\text{Density of mercury}=\frac{\text{Mass of mercury}}{\text{Volume of mercury}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BDensity%20of%20mercury%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Ctext%7BMass%20of%20mercury%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7BVolume%20of%20mercury%7D%7D)
![\text{Density of mercury}=\frac{340.0g}{25.0ml}=13.6g/ml](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BDensity%20of%20mercury%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B340.0g%7D%7B25.0ml%7D%3D13.6g%2Fml)
Therefore, the density of mercury is, 13.6 g/ml
(b) Now we have to calculate the mass of 120.0 ml of mercury.
As, 25.0 ml of mercury has mass = 340.0 g
So, 120.0 ml of mercury has mass = ![\frac{120.0ml}{25.0ml}\times 340.0g=1632g](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B120.0ml%7D%7B25.0ml%7D%5Ctimes%20340.0g%3D1632g)
Therefore, the mass of 120.0 ml of mercury is, 1632 grams
