Question

Mercury has a mass density of 13.54 g/ml . how many milliliters would 100. grams occupy

Answer 1

7.39 ml For this problem, simply divide the mass of mercury you have by it's density. 100 g / 13.54 g/ml = 7.3855 ml Since we only have 3 significant digits in 100., you need to round the result to 3 significant digits. So 7.3855 ml = 7.39 ml
