How much does 500 mL of mercury weigh?

Please provide answer in pounds.

Answer:
(500mL)(13.53 g/mL)(1pound/453.6g) = [ 14.9 pounds ]
13.55 kg/L * 0.5L = 6.775 kg /0.453549lb/kg = 14.94 lb
greetings

the mercury is the one of the heaviest element of the nature, with a density of 13.55 grams/cc, is 13.55 heavier than the water, (im talking about the liquid mercury), so if you make the calculus:

500 ml (13.55g/ml) = 6775.0 grams or 6.775 Kg
