The water contained in a 16 ounce (actually produced as 16.9 oz) bottle is milliliters and weighs approximately pound.

Since the given data is mass in terms of ounces, it would be easier to determine first the mass in terms of pounds. The conversions is 1 oz = 0.0625 pounds. The conversion is as follows:

16.9 oz * 0.0625 lbs/oz = 1.06 lb

The mass of water is 1.06 pound. To determine the volume, we use the density of water which 1 g/mL.

Volume = 1.06 lb * 1000 g/ 2.2 lb * (1 mL/1 g) = 481.82 mL

Ithink is a because if say increased in electronegativity
