Question

Mercury, also known as quicksilver, is a metallic element and a liquid at room temperature. Calculate mercury's density if a sample of mercury is found to have a mass of 453.0453.0 g and a volume of 33.4833.48 mL

Answer 1

Answer:

13.53 g/mL

Explanation:

We can calculate the density of an object if we are given its mass and its volume, using the following equation:

• Density = Mass / Volume

We input the data given by the problem:

• Density = 453.0 g / 33.48 mL

• Density = 13.53 g/mL

Thus the density of the mercury sample is 13.53 g/mL
