depends on the density of oil. using rho=m/V

Explanation:

m=rho*V
generally density of oil is between 0.91 to 0.93 g/(cm^3 therefore, mass of 10cm^3oil lies between 9.1 g to 9.3 g.

Around 9.2g on average.

Explanation:

Density is given by the equation

rho=m/V

m is the mass of the substance (I'll use g)

V is the volume of the substance (I'll use cm^3)

Oil has a density between 0.91g"/"cm^3 and 0.93g"/"cm^3, so I'll take the average density, which is 0.92g"/"cm^3.

Solving for m, we get

m=V*rho

Plugging in the values we have found, therefore

m=10cancel(cm^3)*0.92g"/"cancel(cm^3)=9.2g
