Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of ethanol is V =8000 ml

The density if the ethanol is ρ=0.79g/mL

density = mass/volume which can be rewritten as

mass = density x volume

Using given volume and density, the mass of ethanol is computed

mass = (8000 mL) x (0.79 g/mL)

mass = 6320 g

Thus, the mass of ethanol is 6320 grams.
