Sorry it was supposed to read 25 degrees Celcius.

The correct answer was 39300 grams.

mass = density times volume. so .0737 times 14.1
but you have to pay attention to units to make sure that they cancel, if they do not cancel you will have to make conversions

m=(d)(v)
0.737 divided by 25=0.029
m=(0.029)(14.1)
m=0.409
Hope this helps. I'm not a 100% positive if this answer is correct, but I know that this formula: m=(d)(v) is the one you need to use to solve your problem. Good Luck!

density = mass / volume
Therefore d = 0.737 = m / v
Therefore m = 0.737 * 14.1

14.1 L?
d = m/v
.737 = m/14.1 L => m = (.737)(14.1) = 10.4 grams
