(d) Density of mercury is 13600 kg/m3 and density of water is 1000 kg/m²
If mercury and water have the same volume, then:
i. the water has more mass than that of the mercury.
ji. the water has less mass than that of the mercury.
iii. the mass of the water is equal to the mass of the mercury.
iv. (i) and (ii) both.
Answers
The correct option regarding the density of water and mercury is ii. the water has less mass than the mercury.
- Density is defined as the number of objects, particles things, etc present in an area. the substance is said to be dense if it has more particles or more pass in a given volume.
- For example, the density of honey is more than the density of water and oil.
- Density is usually compared in terms of relative density.
- For the same volume, density is directly proportional to mass. Also, the density of mercury is more than the density of water. so, the mass of mercury is more than the mass of water in the same volume.

The answer is "ii. the water has less mass than that of the mercury", and the other statements are incorrect.
Mercury has a density of 13600 kg/m3, compared to 1000 kg/m3 for water. We can compare the masses of mercury and water to see which has more mass if they have the same volume.
Assume that the volume of both the mercury and the water is one cubic meter (m3). One can compute the mercury's mass as follows:
Mass of mercury = Density of mercury x Volume of mercury
Mass of mercury = 13600 kg/m3 x 1 m3
Mass of mercury = 13600 kg
Similarly to that, the water's mass can be determined as follows:
Mass of water = Density of water x Volume of water
Mass of water = 1000 kg/m3 x 1 m3
Mass of water = 1000 kg
When we compare the two masses, we can see that the mercury's mass is significantly higher than the water's mass. As a result, it is true that "ii. The water has less mass than that of the mercury."
