To find the mass of mercury, we can use the formula:
Mass = Density × Volume
Given information:
Density of mercury = 13.6 g/mL
Volume of mercury = 4.72 L
First, we need to convert the volume from liters to milliliters, as the density is given in grams per milliliter.
1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
So, 4.72 L x 1000 mL/L = 4720 mL
Now we have the volume in milliliters. We can plug the values into the formula:
Mass = Density × Volume
Mass = 13.6 g/mL × 4720 mL
Calculating this:
Mass = 64,192 g
Therefore, the mass of 4.72 L of mercury is 64,192 grams.
