A 76.00 pound flask of mercury costs $156.50. The density of mercury is 13.534 g/cm3.
Find the price of one cubic inch of mercury by calculating intermediate values.

What is the price of one pound of mercury?
What is the price of 1 g of mercury?
What is the price of 1 cm3 of mercury?
What is the price of 1 in3 of mercury?



Answer :

The prices of the different units of volume and mass of mercury are as follows:

a. Price of one pound of mercury = $2.059

b. Price of 1 g of mercury = $0.00454

c. Price of 1 cm³ of mercury = $0.0614

d. Price of 1 in³ of mercury is $0.996

What is the price of the intermediate volumes of Mercury?

The price of the intermediate volumes of Mercury are determined as follows:

a. Price of 76.00 pound flask of mercury = $156.50

Price of one pound of mercury =  $156.50/76

Price of one pound of mercury = $2.059

b. 1 pound = 453.592 g

76 pounds = 76 * 453.592 g = 34473 g

Price of 1 g of mercury = $156.50/34473

Price of 1 g of mercury = $0.00454

c. Volume of 34473 g of mercury = 34473/13.534

Volume of 34473 g of mercury = 2547.14 cm³

Price of 1 cm³ of mercury = $156.50/2547.14 cm³

Price of 1 cm³ of mercury = $0.0614

d. Price of 1 in³ of mercury:

1 cm³ = 0.0610 in³

2547.14 cm³ = 2547.14 * 0.0610 in³

2547.14 cm³ = 157.02 in³

Price of 1 in³ of mercury = 156.5/157.02

Price of 1 in³ of mercury = $0.996

In conclusion, the prices of the different units of volume and mass of mercury are found by conversion.
