402.56g

Explanation:

Using the formula $D e n s i t y = \frac{M a s s}{V o l u m e}$ $Density=(Mass)/(Volume)$ , we can rearrange it as $M a s s = D e n s i t y \cdot V o l u m e$ $Mass=Density*Volume$ .

The volume given is 29.6mL and the density given is 13.6g/ml. Plugging it into our equation, we get
$Mass=29.6cancel(ml)*(13.6g)/cancel(ml)=402.56g$
