Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert g/cm3 to kg/m3, we need to multiply by 1000 (to convert grams to kilograms) and by 100^3 (to convert centimeters to meters cubed). 
So, the calculation is: 
13.6 g/cm^3 x (1000 kg/g) x (1 cm/m)^3 = 13600 kg/m^3 
Therefore, the answer is B) 1.36 × 10^4.

The Density of Mercury Is 13
