Answer: The mass of acetone is 22.61 g

Explanation:

To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:

\(\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}\)

We are given:

Density of acetone = \(0.7857g/cm^3\)

Volume of acetone = \(28.78mL=28.78cm^3\)     (Conversion factor: \(1cm^3=1mL\)  )

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\(0.7857g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of acetone}}{28.78cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of acetone}=22.61g\)

Hence, the mass of acetone is 22.61 g
