Well, we want to find the quotient......

Explanation:

"Density, "rho-="Mass"/"Volume"Density, ρMassVolume...

And for chemists, the typical units are g*mL^-1-=g*cm^-3gmL1gcm3.

And thus you take the mass of a known volume of liquid....and solve the quotient.

And some typical values, rho_(H_2O)=1*g*cm^-3ρH2O=1gcm3; or rho_(Hg)=13.55*g*cm^-3ρHg=13.55gcm3; rho_(Br_2)=3.11*g*cm^-3ρBr2=3.11gcm3; rho_"EtOH"=0.789*g*cm^-3ρEtOH=0.789gcm3.

By the way, you won't be asked to find the density of bromine; there are few substances in the laboratory that are as dangerous or as corrosive as bromine.
