If a beaker of liquid has a density of 50 g/mL a volume of 5 mL, what is its mass?

Clearly, it's 250*g.

Explanation:

"Density", rho = "Mass"/"Volume"

"Mass" = rhoxx"volume" = 50*g*mL^-1xx5*mL.

This question is physically unrealistic, and should not have been asked. The densest liquid I know is mercury metal, rho=13.55*g*mL^-1. This question proposes a super dense liquid.
