A person contains 8.0 L of blood. Blood is composed of 55% plasma and 45% blood cells by volume. The density of blood plasma is approximately 1025kg/m3 and the density of blood cells circulating in the blood is approximately 1125 kg/m3. Determine the mass of the plasma and the blood cells in 8.0 L of human blood. (Hint: 1 L = 0.001 m3)
