2) Mercury metal is poured into a graduated cylinder that holds exactly 22.5
mL. The mercury used to fill the cylinder weighs 306.0 g. From this
information, calculate the density of mercury.
13.6 g/ml
3) What is the weight of the ethyl alcohol that exactly fills a 200.0 mL
container? The density of ethyl alcohol is 0.789 g/mL.
158 g
8.9 g/cm^3
5) A flask that weighs 345.8 g is filled with 225 mL of carbon tetrachloride.
The weight of the flask and carbon tetrachloride is found to be 703.55 g.
From this information, calculate the density of carbon tetrachloride.
1.59 g/ml
6) Calculate the density of sulfuric acid if 35.4 mL of the acid weighs 65.14 g.
1.84 g/ml
219.1 g
8) A block of lead has dimensions of 4.50 cm by 5.20 cm by 6.00 cm. The block
