Answer:
The density of the sample is 11.8 g/mL.
Explanation:
We are given an unknown sample with a mass of 23.5 g and a volume of 2.00 mL and we want to determine its density.
Recall that density is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle \rho = \frac{m}{V}[/tex]
Where ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume.
Substitute 23.5 g for m and 2.00 mL for V and evaluate:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \rho & = \frac{m}{V} \\ \\ & = \frac{(23.5\text{ g})}{(2.00 \text{ mL})}\\ \\ & = 11.8 \text{ g/mL}\end{aligned}[/tex]
Hence, the density of the sample is 11.8 g/mL.
