Answer:
16.3 L
Explanation:
volume of mercury = 0.950 L
density of mercury = 13.546 g/ml
and density of ethanol = 0.789 g/ml
From the given density and volume we will calculate the mass of mercury and then there would exactly same mass of ethanol be there as is mentioned.
we know that, mass = volume x density
So, mass of mercury = 0.950 L x (1000ml/1L) x (13.546g/ml) = 12868.7g
Now we have mass and density of ethanol so it's volume could easily be calculated as volume = mass/density
volume of ethanol = 12868.7g x (1ml/0.789ml) x (1L/1000ml) = 16.31 L
