How many grams of alcohol with a density of 0. 900 g/cm3 will have the same volume as 20. 0 g of mercury with a density of 13. 6 g/cm3?



Answer :

The mass of alcohol with a density of 0.900 g/cm^3 that will have the same volume as 20 g of mercury with a density of 13.6 g/cm^3 will be 1.32 grams.

The density of a substance is given by the following formula:

Density = Mass/Volume

As 20 grams of mercury is given, we can calculate its volume using the above formula

13.6 = 20/Volume

The volume of mercury comes out to be 1.47 ml.

As the volume of mercury and alcohol is given the same in the question, we can calculate the mass of alcohol by again using the same formula

0.900 = Mass/1.47

Mass = 1.32 g

Hence, the mass of alcohol with a density of 0.900 g/cm^3 that will have the same volume as 20 g of mercury with a density of 13.6 g/cm^3 will be 1.32 grams.
