Chapter 11: Q2 PE (page 396)

Mercury is commonly supplied in flasks containing 34.5g(about76lb). What is the volume in litres of this much mercury?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The volume of mercury in litre is obtained as:2.54L .

Step by step solution

01

Conceptual Introduction

Fluid statics, often known as hydrostatics, is a branch of fluid mechanics that investigates the state of balance of a floating and submerged body, as well as the pressure in a fluid, or imposed by a fluid, on an immersed body.

02

Given Data

The density of a material is defined as the ratio of its mass to it鈥檚 volume.

The mass is given in kgm=34.5 kg.

The gram mass will be:m=34.5脳103g.

The density of mercury 蚁=13.6g/cm3.

03

Calculating the volume of the given Substance

As we known that the density is the rate of mass per volume let鈥檚 put the given data in the formula given below.

蚁=mVV=m蚁V=34.5脳103g13.6鈥�g/cm3V=2536.7鈥�cm3

So, the volume of mercury is 2536.7 cm3.

04

Calculating the volume of the given Substance in Liter

Hence, volume in litre,

V=2536.7cm31L1000cm3=2.54L

Therefore, volume of mercury in litre is: 2.54 L.
