There are 13 g of acetic acid.
Explanation:
Step 1. Calculate the volume of acetic acid
Step 2. Calculate the mass of acetic acid
The density of acetic acid is 1.05 g/mL.
Note: The answer can have only one significant figure because that is all you gave for the percent concentration. However, I calculated the result to two significant figures.
