Answer:

Grams of mercury= 0.06 g of Hg

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

A compact fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury. How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?

Explanation:

Since one fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury,

15 such bulbs will contain 15 * 4 mg of mercury = 60 mg

1 mg = 0.001 g

Therefore, 60 mg = 0.001 g * 60 = 0.06 g of mercury.

Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) are tubes containing mercury and noble gases. When electricity is passed through the bulb, electron-streams flow from a tungsten-coated coil. They collide with mercury atoms, exciting their electrons and creating flashes of ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the tube absorbs this UV light flashes and re-emits it as visible light. The amount of mercury in a fluorescent lamp varies from 3 to 46 mg, depending on lamp size and age.
