g.

1 answer

To find the mass of the blood Keona donates, we need to multiply the volume of the blood by its density.

Mass = Volume × Density

Since blood has a density of 1.06 g/mL and Keona donates 473.176 mL of blood, we can calculate:

Mass = 473.176 mL × 1.06 g/mL

Mass = 501.161056 g

Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a gram, the mass of the blood Keona donates is 501.16 g.
