The formula for density is:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

We know the density for mercury is 13.6 g/mL, and we know the mass of the sample is 53.8 g. Thus, we can plug these numbers into our equation and solve for volume.

The volume is unknown, so we can simply denote it as "x"

13.6 g/mL=\frac{53.8 g}{x}

multiply both sides by x

(x)(13.6 g/mL)=\frac{53.8 g}{x}(x)

The x's cancel out on the right side and you are left with

(x)(13.6 g/mL)=53.8 g

From here, simply divide both sides of the equation by 13.6 g/mL and solve for x.

\frac{(x)13.6 g/mL}{13.6 g/mL}=\frac{53.8 g}{13.6 g/mL}

x=3.955882353 mL

Round to 3 significant figures, and your final answer is:

x=3.96 mL

The volume of the sample of mercury was 3.96 mL.

Crazy boy [7]

The required amount of silver nitrate to produce 16.2g of silver is 25.48 grams.

<h3>What is the relation between mass & moles?</h3>

Relation between the mass and moles of any substance will be represented as:

n = W/M, where

  • W = given mass
  • M = molar mass

Moles of silver = 16.2g / 107.8g/mol = 0.15mol

From the stoichiometry of the given reaction it is clear that, same moles of silver nitrate is required to produce same moles of silver. So 0.15 moles of silver nitrate is required.

Mass of silver nitrate = (0.15mol)(169.87g/mol) = 25.48g

Hence required mass of silver nitrate is 25.48g.
