    Explanation:

    Density -

    Density of a substance is given by the mass of the substance divided by the volume of the substance.

    Hence, d = m / V

    V = volume

    m = mass,

    d = density,

    From the question,

    The mass mercury = 100 g

    Density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³.

    Hence, by using the above formula, and putting the corresponding values, the volume of mercury is calculated as -

    d = m / V

    13.6 g/cm³ = 100 g / V

    V = 7.35 cm³

    1 cm³ = 0.001 L

    V = 7.35 * 0.001 L = 0.0073 L

    Since,

    1 L = 1.06 qt

    V = 0.0073 * 1.06 qt = 0.0077 qt
