Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2.7 \ g/mL}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. It is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.

[tex]\rho = \frac{m}{v}[/tex]

The mass of the mineral is 48.6 grams. The volume is 18 milliliters.

  • m= 48.6 g
  • v= 18 mL

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]\rho= \frac{ 48.6 \ g}{18 \ mL}[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]\rho = 2.7 \ g/ mL[/tex]

The density of the mineral sample is 2.7 grams per milliliter.
