The mass of a density bottle is 20g when empty and 45g when full of water. When full of mercury, its mass is 360g. Calculate the density of mercury.

Answers

Mass of density bottle when empty =20g when full of water =45g mass of water=(45-20)g=25g but density of water is always=1g/cm3 therefore 25g of water will occupy 25cm3 volume volume of density bottle =25cm3 mass of mercury=(360-20)g=340g density =mass/volume density of mercury= (340/25) =13.6g/cm3
