• D. 1.0 g

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given information: the density of water is 1.0 g/cm^3 and the volume of water is 10.0 cm^3.
2. Recall the formula that relates mass, density, and volume: \(\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\).
3. Rearrange the formula to solve for mass: \(\text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume}\).
4. Substitute the known values into the equation: \(\text{Mass} = 1.0\ \text{g/cm}^3 \times 10.0\ \text{cm}^3\).
5. Calculate the product to find the mass of the water (do not compute the final number here, just set up the calculation).
