EXTRA CREDIT (4 points)
Three liquids of different densities are mixed together. Because they are not miscible they form discrete layers,one on top of the other. The liquids are carbon tetrachloride (CCl4, d = 1.58 g/cm3), mercury (d = 13.456 g/cm3) and water (d = 1.00 g/cm3). A) Identity what type of mixture this is. B) If you have (blank) grams of CCl4 and (blank) cm3 of of water, how many grams of mercury are in a mixture with a (blank) number of mL?
(blank) cm3 = (blank) mL
