1. Density of Mercury
The density of mercury is approximately 13.534 g/cm³. This means that 1 cubic centimeter of mercury has a mass of 13.534 grams.
2. Formula
We can use the following formula to relate mass, density, and volume:
* Density = Mass / Volume
To find the volume, we can rearrange this formula:
* Volume = Mass / Density
3. Calculation
* Mass = 100 grams
* Density = 13.534 g/cm³
* Volume = 100 grams / 13.534 g/cm³
* Volume ≈ 7.39 cm³
Therefore, the volume of 100 grams of mercury is approximately 7.39 cubic centimeters.
