The first step is to convert the given volume, from liters to cubic centimeters:


14319L\cdot\frac{1000\operatorname{cm}^3}{1L}=14319000\operatorname{cm}^3

Now, use the density to find the mass of the given volume:


14319000cm^3\cdot\frac{0.769g}{\operatorname{cm}^3}=11011311g

Convert the mass to kilograms:


11011311g\cdot\frac{1\operatorname{kg}}{1000g}=11011.311kg\approx1.10*10^4\operatorname{kg}

The answer is 1.10x10^4kg.
