Final answer:
To calculate the density of a substance with a mass of 133 g and a volume of 0.457 L, convert the volume to 457 mL (since 1 L = 1000 mL) and then divide the mass by the volume to get the density in g/mL.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the density of a substance, you first need to convert all measurements to compatible units and then divide the mass by the volume. Since 1 liter (L) is equal to 1000 milliliters (mL), you can convert the volume to milliliters by multiplying the volume in liters by 1000.
For the given substance with a volume of 0.457 L, the conversion to milliliters would be:
0.457 L × 1000 mL/L = 457 mL
Next, to calculate the density, you divide the mass of the substance by its volume in milliliters:
Density = mass/volume = 133 g / 457 mL
After performing the division, the density can be expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL).
