"density" = 1.85density=1.85 "g/cm"^3g/cm3

Explanation:

Well, if you know part 1, then the mass of the corn oil is 204204 "g"g (zero decimal places, as per rules of significant figures), and we're given its volume is 110.0110.0 "cm"^3cm3.

The equation for density is

"density" = "mass"/"volume"density=massvolume

We know:

  • "mass" = 204mass=204 "g"g

  • "volume" = 110.0volume=110.0 "cm"^3cm3

Plugging these in:

"density" = (204color(white)(l)"g")/(110.0color(white)(l)"cm"^3) = color(red)(ulbar(|stackrel(" ")(" "1.85color(white)(l)"g/cm"^3" ")|)

rounded to 3 significant figures.
