The correct answer is: $7.8 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{d}=\frac{\mathrm{Z} \times \mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{V} \times \mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}} \\ & d=\frac{2 \times 56}{\left(2.88 \times 10^{-8}\right)^3 \times 6.02 \times 10^{23}} \\ & =7.78 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^3 \\ & \end{aligned}$
