a thermometer containing 8.3g of mercury has broken. if mercury ha a density of 13.6g/mL. what volume is spilled?
D = m / V
13.6 = 8.3 / V
V = 8.3 / 13.6
V = 0.610 mL
hope this helps!
Answer: The volume of mercury spilled is 0.61 ml.
Explanation:
Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.
\(Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}\)
Given : Mass of mercury= 8.3 grams
Density of mercury= \(13.6g/ml\)
Putting in the values we get:
\(13.6g/ml=\frac{8.3g}{Volume}\)
\(Volume=0.61ml\)
Thus the volume of mercury spilled is 0.61 ml.
