Answer : Option A) 2540 g

Explanation :

Here, the density of the gelatin is known to be as 1.27 \(g/cm^{3}\).

And the volume 2.0 liter

Here, 2 liters = 2 \(decimetres^3\) so to convert it into \(centimetres^3\) we have to multiply it, with 1000 to 2000 \(centimetres^3\),

Using, the formula for density;

ρ =  \(\frac{m}{v}\)

Here,

ρ = density;

m =mass and v=volume.

Substituting the values given; ρ = 1.27 \(g/cm^{3}\)

m = to be found and v = 2000 \(centimetres^3\)

ρ =  \(\frac{m}{2000centimetres^3}\)

1.27 \(g/cm^{3}\) = m X 2000 \(centimetres^3\)

m = 2540 g

Therefore, the mass will be 2540 g
