Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

Density ($
ho$) is defined as mass ($m$) divided by volume ($V$), so $
ho = \frac{m}{V}$.

Step2: Substitute values

Given $m = 27.0$ g and $V = 2.00$ mL, substitute into the formula: $
ho = \frac{27.0\ \text{g}}{2.00\ \text{mL}}$.

Step3: Calculate density

Perform the division: $\frac{27.0}{2.00} = 13.5$ g/mL.

Answer:

13.5
