    Density is calculated using the following rule:

    density = mass / volume

    therefore:

    mass = density * volume

    mass of Hg = 13.6 * 60.2 = 818.72 grams

    From the periodic table:

    molar mass of Hg = 200.59 grams

    number of moles = mass / molar mass

    number of moles of Hg = 818.72 / 200.59 = 4.08 moles

    each mole contains Avogadro's number of atoms.

    Therefore,

    number of atoms in the given sample = 4.08 * 6.022 * 10^23

    = 2.456976 * 10^24 atoms
