Question #ecde0

Answer 1

`"Volume"` `~=` `175*mL`

Explanation:

`"Density"`, `rho` `=` `"Mass"/"Volume"`

And thus, `"Volume"` `=` `"Mass"/rho`

And now we put in some noombers:

`"volume"_"Hg"` `=` `(2.4*cancel(kg)xx10^3*cancelg*cancel(kg^-1))/(13.6*cancelg*mL^-1)`

`~=175*1/(1/"mL")=175*mL`

Often when you pick up a phial of mercury you are surprised at its mass. Mercury is dense stuff.
