Since 15.3 L was used, we can convert this to mass using the density:


\begin{gathered} \rho=(m)/(V) \\ m=\rho\cdot V \end{gathered}

Using the density of 0.755 g/mL, we need to convert the volume to mL, so:


V=15.3L=15300mL

Now, using the volume and the density, we have:


m=\rho\cdot V=0.755g\/mL\cdot15300mL=11551.5g=1.15515*10^4g\approx1.16*10^4g

So, the mass in grams is approximately 1.16 x 10 g.

To convert to ounces, we can divide the value in grams by approximately 28.349523:


m=11551.5g=(11551.5)/(28.349523)oz=407.467\ldots oz\approx407oz

So, the mass in ounces is approximately 407 oz.
