15.1 1 Section L I A 50 mL beaker is filled to the brim with mercury. How much does the mercury in the beaker weigh?
Hg is about 13.5 times water density of about 1 gram/cm^3
50 mL = 50*10^-3 Liters
liter is 10^3 cm^3 so we have 50 cm^3
13.5 g/cm^3 * 50 cm^3 = 675 grams = .675 kg
if you want weight not mass
m g = .675 * 9.81 Newtons
To calculate the weight of mercury in the beaker, we need to know the density of mercury. The density of mercury is approximately 13.6 grams per milliliter (g/mL).
The volume of the beaker is given as 50 mL, so the weight of the mercury can be calculated as follows:
Weight = Volume x Density
Weight = 50 mL x 13.6 g/mL
Weight = 680 grams
Therefore, the mercury in the 50 mL beaker weighs 680 grams.
To calculate the weight of the mercury in the beaker, we need to know the density of mercury and the volume of the beaker.
The density of mercury is approximately 13.6 grams per milliliter (g/mL). This means that for every milliliter of mercury, it weighs 13.6 grams.
Given that the beaker is filled to the brim with mercury, we can assume that its volume is 50 mL.
To find the weight of the mercury in the beaker, we can multiply the volume of the beaker by the density of mercury:
Weight of mercury = Volume of beaker * Density of mercury
Weight of mercury = 50 mL * 13.6 g/mL
Weight of mercury = 680 grams
Therefore, the mercury in the beaker weighs 680 grams.
