Answer:

1.204 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of the unknown liquid (m): 36.185 g

Volume of the unknown liquid (V): 30.05 mL

Step 2: Calculate the density of the unknown liquid

The density is an intrinsic property, which can help to identify an unknown substance. It is equal to the mass divided by the volume.

ρ = m / V

ρ = 36.185 g / 30.05 mL

ρ = 1.204 g/mL
