Question

How do you calculate the mass, in g, of 29.6 mL f mercury (Hg) if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/ml?

Answer 1

402.56g

Explanation:

Using the formula `Density=(Mass)/(Volume)`, we can rearrange it as `Mass=Density*Volume`.

The volume given is 29.6mL and the density given is 13.6g/ml. Plugging it into our equation, we get
`Mass=29.6cancel(ml)*(13.6g)/cancel(ml)=402.56g`
