What is the density of mercury if 67.67g fills a 2mL graduated cylinder? Include the unit
for full credit (remember the unit is mass unit /volume unit).

Answer:

[tex]Density = 33835kg/m^3[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Mass = 67.67g[/tex]

[tex]Volume = 2mL[/tex]

Required

Determine the density

[tex]Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

First, we need to convert mass to kg

[tex]Mass = 67.67g[/tex]

[tex]Mass = \frac{67.67kg}{1000}[/tex]

[tex]Mass = 0.06767kg[/tex]

Next, we need to convert volume to m^3

[tex]Volume = 2mL[/tex]

[tex]Volume = 2 * 10^{-6}m^3[/tex]

Density is then calculated as follows:

[tex]Density = \frac{0.06767}{2 * 10^{-6}}[/tex]

[tex]Density = \frac{0.06767 * 10^6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Density = \frac{67670}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Density = 33835kg/m^3[/tex]
