    the canister contains a gas used to fuel a burner

    the volume of the white gas to be used is - 1.45 L

    density of white gas is 0.710 g/cm³

    density is defined as the mass per unit volume

    the mass of 1 cm³ of white gas is - 0.710 g

    1 cm³ is equivalent to 0.001 L

    the volume given is in Litres

    so if 0.001 L has a mass of 0.710 g

    then 1.45 L have a mass of - 0.710 g / 0.001 L x 1.45 L = 1030 g

    since 1000 g is equivalent to 1 kg

    mass of white fuel is - 1030 g/1000 g/kg = 1.03 kg

    theres 1.03 kg of fuel in one canister

    Backpackers often use canisters of white gas to fuel a cooking stove's burner. If one canister contains 1.45 L of white gas, and the density of the gas is 0.710 g/cm3, how many kilograms of fuel are contained in one canister? The given are:

    1. Mass = ?

    2. Density = 0.710 g/cm3

    3. Volume = 1.45 L = 1430cm3

    Formula and derivation:

    1. density = mass / volume

    2. mass = density x volume

    Solution for the problem:

    1. mass = 0.710 g/cm3 / 1430cm3

    2. mass = 1015.3 g to 1kg
