Answer:

2200 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula


volume = (mass)/(density)\\

From the question

mass = 37.4 g

density = 0.017 g/L

We have


volume = (37.4)/(0.017) \\ = 2200

We have the final answer as

2200 L

Hope this helps you
