Explanation:

Step1: Understand the concept of mass

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is an intrinsic property of the object and does not change with location.

Step2: Apply the concept to the problem

The chair has a mass of 10 kilograms on Earth. Since mass is invariant (does not change) regardless of the gravitational field (whether on Earth or Mercury), the mass of the chair on Mercury is the same as its mass on Earth.

Answer:

10 kilograms
