Question

b) The density of mercury is 13.6g/0.000001m3. Given the mass of mercy to be 200g, calculate;
i) the volume of mercury 2marks ii) the specific gravity of mercury. Density of water is 1000kg/m3. 2marks

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of mercury,

$v = \frac{m}{d} = \frac{200}{13.6} = 14.70 \times {10}^{6} \: {m}^{3}$

The specific gravity of mercury

$\frac{14.70 \times {10}^{6} }{1000} = 14705.88$
