Having serious block because of the units The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3. What approximate mass of mercury is required to fill a 33 ounce bottle? An ounce is approximately 30 cm^3. I know Density = m/v but Im getting .013464 as the answer when the answer should be 13.464

I would approach the problem like this:

1 oz bottle.............................30cm^3
33 oz bottle.............................xcm^3

in a 33 oz bottle will be x=33*30=990cm^3
density=mm/v
13.6g/cm^3= m/ 990cm^3
m= 13.6 * 990=13464 g
or 13.464 kg in a 33 oz bottle
