Answer:

THE MASS OF THE LIQUID IS 22.5 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Density = 0.180 g/cm3

Side length = 5 cm

Mass = unknown

To calculate the mass of the liquid, we use the formula:

Mass = density * volume

Volume of a cube or cuboid container = l^3

Volume = 5 ^3 = 125 cm3

So therefore, the mass of the liquid is:

Mass = 0.180 * 125

Mass = 22.5 g

In conclusion, the mass of the liquid in the container is 22.5 g
