Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = (mass)/(volume) \\$

From the question

mass = 416 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 523 - 360 = 163

volume = 163 mL

The density is

$density = (416)/(163) \\ = 2.552147239...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
