say what?

anonymous · Answer

that aint nice

anonymous · Answer

umm. is this for chemistry?

anonymous · Answer

anyways, do you know how you go about solving this kinds of problems? like, do you know the setup?

anonymous · Answer

thats what im trying to get and it is for honors chem. i just dont get it

anonymous · Answer

oh ok i'm understanding this more... i think. i was thinking too hard. so first we have to get the volume of mercury to see what mass we need.

anonymous · Answer

do you guys use Dimensional Analysis (DA)?

anonymous · Answer

not yet - but what does that mean?

anonymous · Answer

nevermind then we can just use the d=m/v formula then.

anonymous · Answer

ohok

anonymous · Answer

Ok so let's play around with the formula so we can get the volume of 15.0g of mercury.
