Answer:

The answer is 0.20 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

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


density = (mass)/(volume) \\

From the question

mass = 10.686 g

volume of liquid gallium = 54.5 mL

So we have


density = (10.686)/(54.5) \\ = 0.1960733944...

We have the final answer as

0.20 g/mL

Hope this helps you
