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

Explanation:

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

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

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^-3; or rho_(Hg)=13.55*g*cm^-3; rho_(Br_2)=3.11*g*cm^-3; rho_"EtOH"=0.789*g*cm^-3.

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.
