Question

What volume ( in cc ) does 100g of mercury occupy? The density of mercury is 13,600 kg/m3.

Answer 1

First, let's convert the density of mercury from kg/m3 to g/cc:

1 kg/m3 = 0.001 g/cc

So, the density of mercury is:

13600 * 0.001 = 13.6 g/cc

Now we can use the formula:

Density = Mass / Volume

to find the volume occupied by 100g of mercury:

13.6 = 100 / Volume

Volume = 100 / 13.6

Volume = 7.3529 cc

Therefore, 100g of mercury occupies 7.3529 cc of volume.
