Answer :
(a) The density of mercury is, 13.6 g/ml
(b) The mass of 120.0 ml of mercury is, 1632 grams
Explanation :
(a) Now we have to calculate the density of mercury.
Given :
Volume of mercury = 25.0 ml
Mass of mercury = 340.0 g
Formula used :
[tex]\text{Density of mercury}=\frac{\text{Mass of mercury}}{\text{Volume of mercury}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Density of mercury}=\frac{340.0g}{25.0ml}=13.6g/ml[/tex]
Therefore, the density of mercury is, 13.6 g/ml
(b) Now we have to calculate the mass of 120.0 ml of mercury.
As, 25.0 ml of mercury has mass = 340.0 g
So, 120.0 ml of mercury has mass = [tex]\frac{120.0ml}{25.0ml}\times 340.0g=1632g[/tex]
Therefore, the mass of 120.0 ml of mercury is, 1632 grams
