Question 5/17
The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm'. How many quarts does 75.0 g of Hg occupy? (1 L=1.06 qt)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Density is mass divided by volume, p = m/V. Rearranging, we get V = m/p, so the volume of 100 g of mercury is

(100 g)/(13.6 g/cm^3) = 7.353 cm^3.

Now, note that 1 cm^3 = 0.001 L, so this means there must be 0.007353 L of Hg, and dividing by 1.06 gives 0.00694 qt
