Answer:

V = 150.1 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the formula for the calculation of density is:


d=(m)/(V)

Thus, since we need to compute the volume of 131.9 g of benzene, we solve for V in the aforementioned equation to get:


V=(m)/(d)

Therefore, we plug in the given mass and density to obtain:


V=(131.9g)/(0.879g/mL)\\\\V=150.1mL

Best regards!
