A thermometer containing 8.3 g of mercury has broken. What volume, in milliliters, of mercury spilled?

The volume of Mercury spilled : 0.613 milliliters

Given

8.3 g of Mercury

Required

The volume

Solution

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

Density formula:  

ρ = density  

m = mass  

v = volume  

Density of mercury : 13.534 g/cm³

Input the value :

V = m : ρ

V = 8.3 g : 13.534 g/cm³

V = 0.613 cm³= 0.613 ml
