The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3 . What volume (in quarts) is occupied by 100. g of Hg? (1 L = 1.06 qt)

0.00077 qt

Explanation:

Density -

Density of a substance is given by the mass of the substance divided by the volume of the substance .

Hence , d = m / V

V = volume

m = mass ,

d = density ,

From the question ,

The mass mercury = 100 g

Density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³ .

Hence , by using the above formula ,and putting the corresponding values , the volume of mercury is calculated as -

d = m / V

13.6 g/cm³ = 100 g  / V

V = 7.35 cm³

1 cm³ = 0.001 L

V = 7.35 * 0.001 L = 0.0073 L

Since ,

1 L = 1.06 qt

V = 0.0073* 1.06 qt = 0.0077 qt

fe 55.85 g/mol and h2o 18.02 g/mol.
