mercury has a specific gravity of 13.6.How many mL OF mercury have a mass of 0.35kg.
26 ml
A sample of mercury has a density of 13.6g/cc at 37 degree Celsius. Calculate the specific gravity of mercury.
To find the volume of mercury that has a mass of 0.35 kg, we can use the formula:
Volume = Mass / Specific Gravity
First, let's convert the mass from kilograms to grams because the specific gravity is given in grams per milliliter (g/mL).
1 kg = 1000 grams
Therefore, the mass of mercury is 0.35 kg * 1000 g/kg = 350 grams.
Now, we can plug the values into the formula:
Volume = 350 grams / 13.6 g/mL
By dividing, we get:
Volume = 25.74 mL
Therefore, 0.35 kg of mercury has a volume of approximately 25.74 mL.
mass = volume x density
You know mass (change that to grams) and density in g/mL (same number as specific gravity), solve for mL
