To find the volume of ethanol, first calculate the mass of mercury using its density and volume, then use the mass and the density of ethanol to find the volume of ethanol. The mass of mercury is 0.950 L * 13.546 g/mL = 12,868.7 g. The volume of ethanol is 12,868.7 g / 0.789 g/mL = 16,313.8 mL = 16.3 L.
