27.00 kg of liquid mercury is needed to fill a 2.0 L container.
The required mass of mercury in kg to fill a 2.0 L container can be determined through proper conversion of units.
Conversion of cm3 to L:
1 cm3 = 1 mL and 1000 mL = 1L
1000 cm3 = 1 L
Conversion of g to kg:
1000 g = 1 kg
Determine the product of density and volume of the container to solve for the required mass of mercury.
(13.5 g/cm3) x ( 1000 cm3/1 L) x (2.0 L) = 27,000 g
27,000 g * (1 kg/1000 g) = 27 kg of mercury
