Question

Use the mass and volume data to calculate the density of mercury to the nearest tenth.

Mass of mercury = 57 g

Volume of mercury = 4.2 mL



The density of mercury is
g/cm3.

Answer 1

Answer: 13.6g/cm3

Formula for density: p=m/v

m= 57g

v= 4.2ml = 0.0042L=4.2 cm³

57g/4.2cm³= 13.5714g/cm³

-

13.6g/cm3

Answer 2

13.6g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for density: p=m/v

m= 57g

v= 4.2ml = 0.0042L=4.2 cm³

57g/4.2cm³= 13.5714g/cm³

Round to the nearest 3 significant figures:

13.6g/cm³
