Question

What is the volume of a sample of mercury, a liquid metal, if it has a density of 14 g/ml and a mass of 28 g?

Answer 1

given ,

Density of sample of mercury = 14g/mL

Mass of sample of mercury = 28 g

We know that ,

Density = mass/volume

Hence ,

Volume = mass of sample/density of sample

Volume of sample of mercury , V = 28g/14g/mL

Volume = 2mL
