Mercury density measurement

10 ml of mercury has been measured to weigh 0.135 kg. Calculate the density of mercury and compare it with the density shown in the tables.

Final Answer:

ρ =  13.5 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} V=10\text{ml}\to {\text{cm}}^3=10\cdot 1{\text{cm}}^3=10{\text{cm}}^3 \\ m=0.135\text{kg}\to \text{g}=0.135\cdot 1000\text{g}=135\text{g} \\ \rho =m/V=135/10=\frac{27}{2}=13.5=13.5{\text{g/cm}}^3 \\ \rho \dots Hg\dots h_{y}drargyrum \end{gathered}$$
