Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\tt 0.87 \ g/mL}[/tex]
Explanation:
The density of a substance can be found by dividing the mass by the volume, or using the formula below.
[tex]d=\frac{m}{v}[/tex]
The mass of the liquid is 17.4 grams. The volume of the liquid is 20 milliliters. Therefore,
[tex]m= 17.4 \ g\\ v=20 \ mL[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]d=\frac{17.4 \ g}{20 \ mL}[/tex]
Divide the values.
[tex]d= 0.87 \ g/mL[/tex]
The density of the liquid is 0.87 grams per milliliter.
