Answer:

0.52 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula


density = (mass)/(volume)\\

From the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 35 - 8 = 27 mL

We have


density = (14)/(27) \\ = 0.518518...

We have the final answer as

0.52 g/mL

Hope this helps you
