You have to calculate the volume of a gas sample with mass of 1.000 × 10³ g and density of 1.027 g/L,but you have forgotten the formula.Which way of reasoning would help you in finding the correct mass? A)If 1.027 g of a gas takes up a volume of 1 L, then 1.000 × 10³ g of the same gas takes up a volume of ________. B)If 1.027 L of gas has a mass of 1 g, then ________ L has the mass of 1.000 × 10³ g.

Using the known density of 1.027 g/L, we can set up a proportion: 1.027 g/1 L = 1.000 × 10³ g/x L. Solving for x, we get x = (1.000 × 10³ g)/(1.027 g/L) = 9.732 × 10³ L. Answer: B is not necessary as it does not directly give us the volume of the gas sample.
