A water sample shows 0.097 grams of some trace element for every cubic centimeter of water. Jose uses a container in the shape of a right cylinder with a radius of 8.6 cm and a height of 11.2 cm to collect a second sample, filling the container all the way. Assuming the sample contains the same proportion of the trace element, approximately how much trace element has Jose collected? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Volume = πr^2h = π(8.6^2)(11.2) = π(73.96)(11.2) ≈ 2602.3446 cm^3.

Trace element = 0.097 g/cm^3 × 2602.3446 cm^3 ≈ 252.427 g.

Rounded to the nearest tenth: 252.4 grams.
