Answer:

13.6g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for density is D=m/V

D = Density in grams per liter (g/L)

m = Mass of sample in grams

V = volume of sample in liters

Convert 205mL to Liters as follows:

205mL (1L/1000mL) =0.205L

then simply plug into the equation for density:

2790g/0.205L = D= 13.6g/L
