Question

The mercury in a container occupies a volume of 0.5 liters. Given the density of mercury as 13.5g/cc, how much does 0.5 liters of mercury weigh?

Answer 1

6.75g?

Answer 2

sorry, i put it wrong
mass= density x volume

Answer 3

by the definition
density = mass/volume
then
mass= density x volume
you have to convert the volume in liters to cubic centimeters because the density is in g/cc
1cm^3=1mL
1L=1000mL

you have the density and the volume you can calculate the mass

Answer 4

6.75grams is incorrect?

Answer 5

500cc*13.5g/cc=6.75g? what am I doing wrong?

Answer 6

it is 500!!!
6.75 kg
