To find the mass of 1.000 L of a material with a density of 1.05 g/mL, we can use the formula:

mass = volume x density

We are given the density as 1.05 g/mL. The volume is given as 1.000 L.

We need to convert the volume to milliliters since the density is given in grams per milliliter:

1.000 L = 1000 mL

Now we can calculate the mass:

mass = 1000 mL x 1.05 g/mL = 1050 g

The answer in (A) has too many significant figures. The answer in (C) is the correct value but does not have the correct units. The answer in (D) has the correct units but the value is in kilograms, not grams. Therefore, the best choice is (B) which has the correct value and units with the proper significant figures expressed.
