How much does Mercury weigh in pounds?

Answer 1

Mercury, the planet has a mass of 3.30e23 kg

This mass is 7.26 x 1023 lb. that is around 5.5% of the mass of the Earth.
3.3 x 1023 kg. So 3300000000000000000000000 kg To convert into pounds x 2.20462262 = pounds 7275254646000000000000000 lbs

Answer 2

Mercury's weight is approximately 0.38 times the weight of Earth, which translates to about 0.378 times the weight of an equivalent Earth mass, or about 0.055 times the weight of an equivalent Earth mass in pounds.

Answer 3

Since the average density of mercury is 113.04 lb/gal, the reciprocal of that will tell you how many gallons -- or fractions of a gallon -- one pound is. The reciprocal is 0.00885 gal/lb, so one pound is only 0.00885 gallon or 1.13 fluid ounces, which is equivalent to 2.039 cubic inches. At 20 degrees C (68 degrees F), Mercury is 13.55 g/cm3. So, you need (453.59237 / 13.55) 33.48 cm3 to get one pound of mercury. That means a cube, 1.269 inches on a side will hold 1 pound of mercury at room temperature. That's 2.04 cubic inches.

The volume of a Golf ball is about 40 cm3 (the same as a cube about 2.5 inches on a side). So, a golf ball-sized container of mercury will weigh about 1 pound 3 ounces.

Note, even though we rely on the linear expansion behavior of mercury for use in thermometers, it doesn't expand all that much.

At 300 degrees C (572 degrees F), Mercury is 12.88 g/cm3. So, you'd need (453.59237 / 12.88) 35.22 cm3 to get one pound of mercury. That means a cube 1.295 inches on a side will hold one pound of mercury at the temperature of the broiler in your oven at full blast. The 300 degree C golf ball-sized container of mercury will weigh about 1 pound 2 ounces.

Answer 4

1 UK gallon = 4,54609 L = 4546,09 mL

Density of mercury: 13,534 g/cm3

Mass = volume x density = 4546,09 x 13,4534 = 61526,782 g = 61,527 kg

For the US gallon use the volume 3,785411784 L.

Answer 5

You must first find the density of pure mercury, which is 13594kg/m3. Use the density equation and solve for volume.

density = mass/volume

volume = mass/density = (1.000kg)/(13594kg/m3) = 7.356 x 10-5m3

Answer 6

It's a surprising property of that unique element, that 1 pound of mercury weighs

precisely 1.00 pound, regardless of whether it happens to be in the gaseous, solid,

or liquid phase at the time.

Answer 7

One pound is one pound, independent of the material.

Answer 8

The density of mercury is 13595 kilograms per cubic meter or 13.595 kilograms per cubic decimeter or 13.595 kilograms per liter. 1 liter of mercury weighs 13.595 kilograms.

Answer 9

The density of mercury is 13.534 grams per cubic centimeter. This means that the volume of one pound is 33.5 milliliters.

Answer 10

Mercury has a density of about 13.5 grams per cubic centimeter. The volume of 1 gram of mercury is about .07 cubic centimeters.
