The density of the liquid is 1.25 g/cm3, which means that 1 cm3 of the liquid has a mass of 1.25 g. Therefore, to obtain 5.00 g of the liquid, we need a volume of 5.00 g ÷ 1.25 g/cm3 = 4 cm3, which is best represented by drawing (c). Drawing (a) is too small, drawing (b) is too large, and drawing (d) does not have a clear representation of volume.
