Question

. An experiment shows that the element

mercury has a density of 13.57 g/cm². What is
the volume of 1.000 kg of pure mercury?
A. 0.7369 cm3 C. 73.69 cm3
B. 13.57 cm3 D. 1,357 cm3

Answer 1

v = 73.69 cm²

Explanation:

V = m/p

Where,

v is volume

m is mass

p is density

So,

v = 1000 / 13.57

v = 73.69 cm²

I believe that this maybe a wrong answer because 1000 kg is suppose to be converted to g but since the answer (which is 73692 cm³) would not meet any of the options, I would have to go for that answer.

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

D=m/v

Rearranging the formula

v=m/D

V=1000/13.56

V=73.69 cm3
