Answer:

10.50 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

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


density = (mass)/(volume) \\

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 260.5 - 242 = 18.5 mL

We have


density = (194.3)/(18.5) \\ = 10.5027

We have the final answer as

10.50 g/mL

Hope this helps you
