In the lab there is a vile of mercury and it has a mass of 43.0 grams. If the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL, what is the volume (mL) of the mercury? (please show steps)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 3.16 mL

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

[tex]volume = \frac{mass}{density} [/tex]

From the question

mass = 43 g

density = 13.6 g/mL

The volume is

[tex]volume = \frac{43}{13.6} \\ = 3.161764[/tex]

We have the final answer as

3.16 mL

Hope this helps you
