Question: The density of lead is 11.3 g/mL and as such it will float in mercury whose density is 13.5 g/mL.

Compute for the mass of mercury if the measured volume is 7.2 x 10-13 gigaliters. Solution: 7.2x10 -13 GL x 109L x 1GL 103mL = 1L

0.72mL

Mass (mercury) = (13.5 g/L) (0.72mL) = 9.72 g

Answer: 9.72 g
