Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$density = (mass)/(volume) \\$

From the question

mass = 4.86 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 17.3 - 15.5 = 1.8 mL

So we have

$density = (4.86)/(1.80) \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
