The density of liquid mercury is 13.6 g `cm^(-3)` . How many moles of mercury are there in 1 litre of the metal ? (Atomic mass of Hg = 200.) |
|
Answer» Mass of mercury (Hg) in grams = density ( g `cm^(-3)) xx` volume `(cm^(3))` `= 13.6 g cm^(-3) xx 1000 cm^(3) = 13600 g .` `therefore` number of moles of mercury = `("mass of mercury in grams ")/("gram-atomic mass of mercury") = (13600 g)/(200 g) = 68.` |
