Answer:
3000 grams
Explanation:
The formula to be used here is that of density
Density (g/ml) = mass (in grams)/volume (in milliliter)
The volume in the question will have to be converted to milliliter (mL), before been used in the formula above
1.0L = 1000 mL
3.0L = X
where X is the unknown
X = (3 × 1000) ÷ 1
X = 3000mL
So, 3.0L = 3000mL (which is our volume)
Density = 1.00 g/mL
Hence,
1.00 = mass/3000
when cross multiplied, we have
mass = 3000 grams
Thus, 3000g of dioxin is present in 3.0L (3000 mL) of the water.
