Answer:

18 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 = 62 - 52 = 10 mL

From the question we have


density = (180)/(10) \\

We have the final answer as

18 g/mL

Hope this helps you
