Answer:

28.52 L

Explanation:

First, let's calculate the density of the ocean, which is the mass divided by the volume:

d = m/V

d = 35.06/1

d = 35.06 g/L

So, for a mass of 1.00 kg = 1000.00 g

d = m/V

35.06 = 1000.00/V

V = 1000.00/35.06

V = 28.52 L

How all the data are expressed with two significant figures, the volume must also be expressed with two.
