Density is the ratio of mass to the volume. The formula of density is:


density = (mass)/(volume) -(1)

Density of carbon tetrachloride =
1.59 g/ml (given)

Mass of carbon tetrachloride =
4.21 kg (given)

Since,
1 kg = 1000 g

So,
4.21 kg = 4210 g

Substituting the values in formula (1):


1.59 g/mL = (4210 g)/(volume)


volume = (4210 g)/(1.59 g/mL)


volume = 2647.799 mL

Since,
1 mL = 0.001 L

So,
2647.799 mL = 2.65 L

Hence, the volume of carbon tetrachloride is
2.65 L.
