A liquid in the lab has a density of 1.25 g/cm^3. What is the mass, in grams, of 80.0 mL of the liquid?

• A. 100 g
• B. 100 g
• C. 125 g
• D. 80 g

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given information: the density of the liquid is 1.25 g/cm\^3 and the volume of the liquid is 80.0 mL.
2. Recall that 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm\^3, so the volume can be directly used as 80.0 cm\^3 for calculation purposes.
3. Use the formula relating mass, density, and volume: \(\text{mass} = \text{density} \times \text{volume}\).
4. Substitute the known values into the formula: \(\text{mass} = 1.25 \text{ g/cm}^3 \times 80.0 \text{ cm}^3\).
5. Calculate the product to find the mass in grams (do not provide the final numerical answer here, just the method).
