mercury has a density of 1.36x10^4 kg/m. what is the density of mercury in units f g/cm?
13.6 g/cm^3 You need to prove that.
.0136
To convert the density of mercury from kg/m³ to g/cm³, we need to use the following conversion factors:
1 kg = 1000 g (since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram)
1 m = 100 cm (since there are 100 centimeters in a meter)
Let's start by converting the units for density:
Density in g/cm³ = (Density in kg/m³) x (Conversion factor from kg to g) / (Conversion factor from m³ to cm³)
Density in g/cm³ = (1.36x10^4 kg/m³) x (1000 g/1 kg) / (100 cm/1 m)
Simplifying the expression:
Density in g/cm³ = (1.36x10^4) x (1000/100)
Density in g/cm³ = 1.36x10^6 g/cm³
Therefore, the density of mercury in units of g/cm³ is 1.36x10^6 g/cm³.
