Mercury is a liquid metal with a mass density of 13.6g/cm. What is the mass of 10.0 centimeters cubed of mercury?

Your units for the mass density should be g/cm^3. To get the mass of any volume V, multiply the mass density by V.

In your case, the Volume is V = 10.0 cm^3

You can always multiply by ten by moving a decimal point one place to the right.

13.6*10power3kg/m3

To find the mass of 10.0 cm^3 of mercury, we can use the formula:

Mass = Density x Volume

Given that the density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm^3 and the volume is 10.0 cm^3, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Mass = 13.6 g/cm^3 x 10.0 cm^3

To multiply by 10, we move the decimal point one place to the right:

Mass = 136 g

Therefore, the mass of 10.0 cm^3 of mercury is 136 grams.
