550 ml

In a 0.2% w/w solution, 0.2 g of solute is found in 100 g of solution. Therefore, 1.32 g of solvent is found in:

#(1.32/0.2) times 100 = 660# g

To get the volume in ml, rearrange the relationship between density D, mass M and volume V, #D = M/V # to give #V = M/D#

And plug in the numbers: Volume = (660 / 1.2) = 550 ml.
