What is the density of mercury if a 25.0 mL sample has a mass of 338.35 g?
(338.5 g) / (25.0 mL) = 13.5 g/mL (3 significant figures)
What will happen when wood is placed in mercury?
When wood is placed in mercury, nothing significant will happen as mercury is a relatively inert metal and will not react with the wood. The wood will simply float on the surface of the mercury due to the density difference between the two materials.
What is mercury relative density?
The specific gravity of Mercury is 13.56. The density of mercury is 13.534 grams per cubic centimeter. Density is usually the ratio to the density of a given reference material.
Would chromium float or sink in Mercury?
Chromium, with a density of 7.19 gm/cubic centimeter, will float on liguid mercury, with a density of 13.5 gm per cubic centimeter.
The density of mercury in centimeters?
The density of mercury is about 13.6 grams per cubic centimeter.
What is the density of the element Mercury?
The density of the metal mercury (liquid) is 13,534 kg/m3 or 13.534 g/cm3. The correct SI measure of the density is kg/m3.
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 density of mercury if a 25.0 mL sample has a mass of 338.35 g?
(338.5 g) / (25.0 mL) = 13.5 g/mL (3 significant figures)
What are some of the disadvantages of using mercury in barometers?
Mercury is toxic, so you have to be careful not to spill itMercury changes volume/density with temperature (which mercury thermometers rely on) so you have to correct for this when reading them.
What is the percent error in the measurement of the density of a substance, rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures?
The percent error in the measurement of density is calculated by taking the absolute difference between the measured value and the accepted value, dividing it by the accepted value, and then multiplying by 100. The result is rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures.
What will happen when wood is placed in mercury?
When wood is placed in mercury, nothing significant will happen as mercury is a relatively inert metal and will not react with the wood. The wood will simply float on the surface of the mercury due to the density difference between the two materials.
Is mercury denser than honey?
Yes. Mercury has a greater density than does honey.
How is Mercury's average dens ity is high as earths?
How is Mercury's density is about high as the earths density
The density of mercury is 5427 kgm3. If the density of water is 1.0 gmL will mercury float or sink in water?
Since the density of mercury (5427 kg/m³) is greater than the density of water (1000 kg/m³ or 1.0 g/cm³), mercury will sink in water. Objects with higher density than the fluid they are in will sink, while objects with lower density will float.
What is mercury relative density?
The specific gravity of Mercury is 13.56. The density of mercury is 13.534 grams per cubic centimeter. Density is usually the ratio to the density of a given reference material.
Why does gold sink in Mercury?
Gold sinks in mercury due to its high density compared to mercury. Gold has a density of around 19.3 g/cm^3, while mercury has a density of about 13.6 g/cm^3. This density difference causes gold to sink in mercury when the two substances are in contact.
Would chromium float or sink in Mercury?
Chromium, with a density of 7.19 gm/cubic centimeter, will float on liguid mercury, with a density of 13.5 gm per cubic centimeter.
