Mercury(Hg) has a density of 13.5 g/cm cubed. How much space would 50.0 g of mercury occupy?
mass = volume x density
You know mass and density, substitute and solve for volume.
675.00
No. mass = volume x density. You substitute 50.0 for mass and 13.5 g/cc for density and solve for volume.
To calculate the volume that 50.0 g of mercury would occupy, we need to divide the mass of mercury by its density.
The formula to calculate volume is:
Volume (V) = Mass (m) / Density (ρ)
Given:
Mass of mercury (m) = 50.0 g
Density of mercury (ρ) = 13.5 g/cm³
Plugging in these values into the formula, we have:
V = 50.0 g / 13.5 g/cm³
Now, let's perform the calculation:
V ≈ 3.70 cm³
Therefore, 50.0 g of mercury would occupy approximately 3.70 cm³ of space.
