The mass of the sample of mercury is 11,648 g.
To calculate this, first calculate the volume of the vial:
Volume = πr2h
Volume = 3.14 x (8 cm)2 x (10 cm)
Volume = 2,048 cm3
Then, calculate the mass of the sample of mercury:
Mass = Density x Volume
Mass = 13.6 g/cm3 x 2,048 cm3
Mass = 11,648 g
Mercury has a density of 13.6 g/cm3. What is the mass of a sample of mercury in a cylindrically shaped vial of radius 8 cm and height 10 cm?
