Question

3 a graduated cylinder contains 22.5 ml of mercury weighing 306.0 g. calculate the density of mercury. a 10.5 g/ml b 13.6 g/ml c 11.5 g/ml d 13.5 g/ml

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

Density $
ho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $m$ is mass and $V$ is volume.

Step2: Identify values

Given $m = 306.0\ g$ and $V=22.5\ mL$.

Step3: Calculate density

$
ho=\frac{306.0}{22.5}=13.6\ g/mL$

Answer:

B. 13.6 g/mL
