    Volume of acetone = 257.4 mL

    Explanation:

    Density = mass / volume

    Density Hg = Mass Hg / Volume Hg

    13.59 g/mL = Mass Hg / 15 mL Hg

    13.59 g/mL. 15 mL = Mass Hg → 203.85 g

    This is the mass of acetone

    Density acetone = Mass acetone / Volume acetone

    0.792 g/mL = 203.85 g / Volume of acetone

    Volume of acetone = 203.85 g / 0.792 g/mL

    Volume of acetone = 257.4 mL

    The volume of acetone is 257.4 mL

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Volume of mercury = 15.0 mL

    Density of mercury = 13.59 g/mL

    Density of acetone = 0.792 g/mL

    mass of acetone = mass of 15.0 mL mercury

    Step 2: Calculate mass of 15.0 mL mercury

    Mass = density * volume

    Mass mercury = 13.59 g/mL * 15.0 mL

    Mass mercury = 203.85 grams

    Step 3: Calculate volume of acetone

    Volume = mass / density

    Volume acetone = 203.85 / 0.792

    Volume acetone = 257.4 mL

    The volume of acetone is 257.4 mL
