Mercury metal is poured into a graduated cylinder that holds exactly 22.5 ml. the mercury used to fill the cylinder weighs 306.0 g. from this information, calculate the density of mercury.

The density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL

Explanation:

To calculate the density of a substance, we use the equation:

We are given:

Mass of mercury = 306.0 g

Volume of mercury = 22.5 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
