60.1 g

Explanation:

You can think about a substance's density as being a conversion factor between mass and volume.

More specifically, a substance's density will tell the mass of that substance that occupies one unit of volume.

In this case, 1,3-cycloheptadiene is said to have a density of 0.868 g mL1. The volume is expressed in milliliters, which means that one unit of volume would correspond to 1 mL.

So, you know that every 1 mL of 1,3-cycloheptadiene has a mass of 0.868 g, which means that 69.2 mL will have a mass of
