Question

The density of mercury is 13600 kg/m3. Calculate the relative density.

Answer 1

Density of mercury = 13600 kg per m cube

Relative density = density of mercury ÷ density of water

Relative density = 13600 ÷1000

Therefore relative density = 13.6

Answer 2

Answer:

Relative density is 13.6

Explanation:

The density of mercury, $d=13600\ kg/m^3$

We need to find the relative density.

$RD=\dfrac{density\ of\ substance}{density\ of\ water}$

Since, the density of water is 1000 kg/m³. So, relative density is given by :

$RD=\dfrac{13600}{1000}$

RD = 13.6

So, the relative density is 13.6. Hence, this is the required solution.
