The density of carbon dioxide is #"0.002 g/mL"#.

Explanation:

Density is the mass per unit of volume of a substance. The formula for density is:

#"density"="mass"/"volume"#

In this question, the mass of the carbon dioxide #("CO"_2)#, is #"0.392 g"# and its volume is #"200 mL"#.

Plug the given mass and volume into the density formula and solve.

#"density CO"_2=(0.329"g CO"_2)/(200"mL CO"_2)="0.002 g/mL"# rounded to one significant figure due to #"200 mL"#.
