To calculate the density, divide the mass by the volume:
Density = mass/volume
Density = 57 g / 4.2 mL
To convert mL to cm3, since 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm3, the volume remains the same.
Density = 57 g / 4.2 cm3
Density ≈ 13.6 g/cm3
Therefore, the density of mercury is approximately 13.6 g/cm3.
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.
