The density of octane, a component of gasoline, Is 0.702 g/mL. What is the mass, in kg, of 875 ml, of octane?

To find the mass of 875 mL of octane, we can use the formula for mass based on density:

\[
\text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume}
\]

Given:
- Density of octane \( = 0.702 \, \text{g/mL} \)
- Volume of octane \( = 875 \, \text{mL} \)

First, calculate the mass in grams:

\[
\text{Mass} = 0.702 \, \text{g/mL} \times 875 \, \text{mL} = 614.25 \, \text{g}
\]

Now, convert grams to kilograms (since 1 kg = 1000 g):

\[
\text{Mass} = \frac{614.25 \, \text{g}}{1000} = 0.61425 \, \text{kg}
\]

Thus, the mass of 875 mL of octane is **0.61425 kg**.
