Answer

1.38 g/L would be the density of gasoline vapor in the container.

Work Step by Step

1. Step one: find the mass of gasoline a $20^{o}C$ : m = d x v m = 0.75g/cm3 x 5.5mL ( 1 cm3 = 1 mL, so m = 0.75g/mL x 5.5mL m = 4.125 g m = 4.13 g Density of the gasoline gas in the container can be found: d = $\frac{m}{V}$ we found m to be 4.13 g while volume is the volume of the container, as gasoline gas would take the shape and volume of the container. d = $\frac{4.13 g}{3.00L}$ d= 1.375 g/L d = 1.38 g/L 1.38 g/L would be the density of gasoline vapor in the container.
