Answer:

1.7 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Density of substance = 3.4 g/cm³

Relative density to another substance = 2

Density of second substance=?

Let density of second substance = x

Relative density = density of substance / density of second substance

Relative density = density of substance / x

2.0 = 3.4g/cm³ / x

2 * x = 3.4 g /cm³

x = 3.4 g/cm³ ÷ 2

x = 1.7 g/cm³
