    The formula is m = D x V

    D = 13.69 g/cm^3.

    V = 15.0 cm^3

    the mass of the liquid mercury is m = 13.69 g/cm^3 x 15.0 cm^3 = 195g

    the molar mass of Hg is 200,

    1 mole of Hg = 200g Hg, so #mole of Hg = 195 / 200 = 0.97 mol

    but we know that

    1 mole = 6.022 E23 atoms

    0.97 mole=?

    6.022 E23 atoms x 0.97 / 1 mole = 5.84 E23 atoms
