Mercury (a. k.a. quicksilver) is a metallic element and a liquid at room temperature. calculate mercury\'s density if a sample of mercury is found to have a mass of 589.0 g and a volume of 43.86 ml.

The mass per volume measure of the substance is said to be its density.

The formula of density is:

  -(1)

Mass of mercury sample = (given)

Volume of mercury sample = (given)

Substituting the values in formula (1)

Hence, the density of mercury is .
