Question

Mercury has a density of 13.55 g/mL. What would be the volume of a 122 g sample?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Volume=Density ×mass

.

Volume=13.55*122.

. Volume=1653.1 is your answer

Answer 2

Given,

Density of the mercury is 13.55 grams per millilitre.

To find,

The volume of the 122 grams of mercury.

Solution,

First of all we have to know about the mathematical relationship between the density, volume and mass.

Mathematical relationship :

Density = Mass / Volume

Now, we have to calculate the value of the volume, and that's why we have to rearrange the above mentioned mathematical relationship.

Or,

Mass / Volume = Density

Mass = Density × Volume

Density × Volume = Mass

Volume = Mass/Density

Volume = 122/13.55 [By putting values.]

Volume = 9 ml (approx.)

Hence, the approximate volume of the sample is 9 ml.
