To find out how many 1 mL containers can be completely filled with 13.6 g of zinc, we first need to use the density of zinc. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. The formula for density is:
Density = Mass / Volume
In this case, we know the density of zinc is 7.08 g/mL, and we have 13.6 g of zinc. We can rearrange the formula to find the volume:
Volume = Mass / Density
Now, substituting the values we have:
Volume = 13.6 g / 7.08 g/mL
Calculating that gives:
Volume ≈ 1.92 mL
This means that with 13.6 g of zinc, you can fill approximately 1.92 mL. Since each container holds 1 mL, you can completely fill 1 container and have some zinc left over. Therefore, the answer is:
You can fill 1 complete 1 mL container with zinc.
