A student uses a stoppered 25.0-mL volumetric flask to determine the density of a liquid. The mass of the empty flask and stopper was 25.1841 g. The mass of the stoppered flask filled with liquid up to the scratch mark was 45.0379 g. Calculate the density of the liquid in appropriate units and with the correct number of significant figures,
