the density of liquid mercury is 13.5 g/cm3. what mass (in kg) of mercury is required to fill a 2.00 l container?

Sagot :

27.00 kg of liquid mercury is needed to fill a 2.0 L container.

The required mass of mercury in kg to fill a 2.0 L container can be determined through proper conversion of units.

Conversion of cm3 to L:

1 cm3 = 1 mL and 1000 mL = 1L

1000 cm3 = 1 L

Conversion of g to kg:

1000 g  = 1 kg

Determine the product of density and volume of the container to solve for the required mass of mercury.

(13.5 g/cm3) x ( 1000 cm3/1 L) x (2.0 L) = 27,000 g

27,000 g * (1 kg/1000 g) = 27 kg of mercury
