What is the mass of 136 mL of Mercury?
If you know the density of mercury, you can determine the mass of a specific volume of mercury. Mercury has a density of 13.534g/cm3. 1cm3 = 1mL, so we can restate its density as 13.534g/mL. Density = mass/volume. If we know any two variables, we can manipulate the density equation to find the third variable. In this case, we know volume and density, so to find the mass, do the following calculation: Mass = density x volume Mass Hg = 13.534g/mL x 136mL = 1.84g Hg* *The answer is limited to 3 significant figures, because 136mL has only 3 significant figures, even though the density has 5 significant figures. When multiplying or dividing, the answer is limited to the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the fewest significant figures used in the calculation.
What is the meaning of gross mass?
It usually refers to the mass of an object together with its container. For example the gross mass of a tin of soup will be the mass of the soup plus the mass of the tin. As a consumer, you will probably be interested in only the net mass - the mass of the soup - but for the haulier it is the gross mass that matters. For something like breakfast cereal the mass of the container may well be a significant proportion of the gross mass.
What is the density of a rock that has a mass of 22.4g and a volume of 8cm3?
Density = mass/volume Density = 22.4g/8cm3 = 2.8g/cm3 or 3g/cm3 if significant figures are considered.
Why is density expressed in two significant figures?
Because density expressed in two significant figures depends on your accuracy of your measurements of mass and volume to calculate as well as any variables that you are expected to use.
Which mass measurement is expressed in exactly four significant figures 0.001 g 0.095 g 1005 g 1000 g?
1005 g
