Mercury is a liquid metal having a density of 13.6 g/mL. What is the volume of 1.50 lb of mercury metal? 1kg = 2.2 lbs Hint: Convert lbs to kg to g then solve for volume.
a: 19.9 mL
b: 50.1 mL
C: 11.0 mL
D: 33.4 ml

Explanation:

The denisty of a substance can be found by using the formula

Making volume the subject we have

From the question

Density = 13.6 g/cm³

mass = 1.50 lbs

We must first convert the lbs to grams in order to solve

That's

if 2.2 lbs = 1 kg

Then 1.50 lbs =

= 0.681 kg

If 1 kg = 1000 g

Then 0.68 kg = 0.681 × 1000 = 681g

So the mass = 681 g

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the volume

That's

= 50.0735

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
