Directions: Type your answer in the box. Your answer must use significant digits.

What is the density of an aqueous solution that has a mass of 10.081g and 12.5mL? ____ g/mL

Answer explanation

Density = Mass/volume

The least accurate measurement has 3 significant digits, so the answer should be rounded to three significant digits.
