If we have 321 grams of a liquid, and the density is 0.84 g/mL, then we can easily find the volume of the liquid. We just need to take this 0.84 and multiply that by the number of grams. If we do 321 * 0.84, we get 269.64 mL. This is the volume that this liquid has.Remember this equation for future problems: V = D*M. V meaning volume, D meaning density, and M meaning mass. I hope this helps.

Answer: The volume of liquid is 0.382 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Density of a substance is defined as the ratio of its mass and volume. The equation used to determine density follows:


\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

We are given:

Density of liquid = 0.84 g/mL

Mass of liquid = 321 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:


0.84g/mL=\frac{321g}{\text{Volume of liquid}}\\\\\text{Volume of liquid}=(321g)/(0.84g/mL)=382.1mL

Converting this into liters, we use the conversion factor:

1 L = 1000 mL

So,
382.1mL* (1L)/(1000mL)=0.382L

Hence, the volume of liquid is 0.382 L
