Question

The density of mercury at 0°C is 13600Kg/m^3.Calculate its density at 100°C.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Density 1 = 13600 kg/m³

= 13.6 g/cc

Let its mass be 13.6 g in 1 cc of mercury.

T₁ = 0°C = 273 K

T₂ = 100°C = 373 K

According to Charles's law,

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

1/273 = V₂/373

= 373 = 273V₂

= 1.36 cc = V₂

So, we can say keeping the mass as constant that its density should be =

Mass/Volume

= 13.6/1.36

= 10 g/cc or,

= 10000 kg/m³

Hope this helps.
