    37.6 grams of pentane

    Explanation:

    The density given in the CRC of 0.626 g/cm³ will be used to calculate the mass of pentane requred since Density = m/v and m = D x V

    Be careful in this kind of questions to check for the units. In this case one has to remember 1 mL equal 1 cm³.

    m = 0.626 g/cm³ x 60.0 cm³ = 37.6 g pentane
