Answer:

123 g

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we convert 10.0 dL into mL, keeping in mind that:

  • 1 dL = 100 mL; then
  • 10.0 dL * 100 = 1000 mL

Now we can multiply the density by the volume in order to calculate the mass:

  • Density = mass / volume
  • Density * volume = mass
  • 0.123 g/mL * 1000 mL = 123 g

10.0 dL of a substance with a density of 0.123 g/mL would weigh 123 grams.
