To be able to obtain the mass of the given volume of a substance, we need data on its density since it is the mass per volume of a substance. We multiply this value to the given volume. For water, it is approximately 10.02 lb/gal.

Mass of water = 200 gal ( 10.02 lb/gal ) = 200.4 lb

Hope this helped.
