Question

What mass of lead (density 11.4 g/cm^3) would have an identical volume to 15.0 g of mercury(density 13.6 g/cm^3)

Answer 1

say what?

Answer 2

that aint nice

Answer 3

umm. is this for chemistry?

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

do you guys use Dimensional Analysis (DA)?

Answer 8

not yet - but what does that mean?

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

ohok

Answer 11

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