Answer:

d ≈ 0.098 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.

d=m/v

The mass of the substance is 0.221 grams and the volume is 2.25 milliliters.

m= 0.221 g

v= 2.25 mL

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= 0.221 g / 2.25 mL

Divide

d= 0.098222222 g/mL

Let’s round to the nearest thousandth. The 2 in the ten thousandths tells us to keep the 8 in the thousandth place.

d ≈ 0.098 g/mL

The density of the substance is about 0.098 grams per milliliter.
