For all practical purposes, since specific gravity of Hg is 13.6, then density Hg = 13.6 g/mL or mass = volume x density
density H2O = 1 g/mL. So 455 mL H2O has a mass of 455 grams.
455 g Hg = volume Hg x density Hg. Substitute and solve for volume Hg in g/mL, Post your work if you get stuck.

Great, let's solve for the volume of mercury:
455 g Hg = volume Hg x density Hg
455 g Hg = volume Hg x 13.6 g/mL
volume Hg = 455 g Hg / (13.6 g/mL)
volume Hg = 33.46 mL
Therefore, 33.46 mL of mercury would have the same mass as 455 mL of water.
455 g Hg = volume Hg x density Hg
455 g Hg = volume Hg x 13.6 g/mL
volume Hg = 455 g Hg / (13.6 g/mL)
volume Hg = 33.46 mL
Therefore, 33.46 mL of mercury would have the same mass as 455 mL of water.
