What would be the volume of mercury sample that has a mass of 52.757 g? The density of mercury is 12.5g / mL .

Explanation:

Divide the mass by the density and the units of grams will cancel so youll end up with mL.

(52.757g)/(12.5g/mL) = 4.2mL

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.
