Question 53502: The mass of a cylinder is 35.89g and you add mercury until it reaches 5.00ml. The cylinder and the contents now weigh 103.89g. What is the density of the mercury?

new mass - original mass of cylinder = mass of mercury
103.89 - 35.89 = 68
5.00mL of mercury should weigh 68g
Density = mass/volume = 68/5 = 13.6 g/mL
