What mass (in grams)of mercury will fit into a 2 L bottle?
M= DV
V= 2L= 2,00o mL
D= 13.6 g/ mL
Mass= 27, 200 grams??
use formula
mass = density x volume
13.6x 2000ml
m= 27200g so your right
right
Thanks Amy! I guess I've solved 1/3 of my problems I needed help with.

To find the mass of mercury that will fit into a 2 L bottle, you can use the formula M = D * V, where M is the mass, D is the density, and V is the volume.
First, convert the volume from liters to milliliters, since the density is given in grams per milliliter. One liter is equal to 1000 milliliters, so a 2 L bottle is equal to 2,000 mL.
Next, substitute the density and volume values into the formula:
M = (13.6 g/mL) * (2,000 mL)
M = 27,200 grams
So, the mass of mercury that will fit into a 2 L bottle is 27,200 grams.
