Calculate the density of bromine if 586g of the substance occupies 188mL
mass = volume x density.
You have mass and you have volume. Calculate density.

To calculate the density of a substance, you need to divide the mass of the substance by its volume.
Given:
Mass of bromine = 586 grams
Volume of bromine = 188 mL
Density is defined as mass divided by volume:
Density = Mass / Volume
Substituting the given values:
Density = 586 grams / 188 mL
However, we need to convert mL to grams since density is commonly expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL). The conversion factor we'll use is the density of water, which is 1 g/mL.
Density = 586 grams / 188 mL * (1 mL / 1 g)
Simplifying:
Density = 586 / 188 g/mL
Calculating the value:
Density ≈ 3.12 g/mL
So, the density of bromine is approximately 3.12 g/mL.
To calculate the density of bromine, you need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Given that the mass of bromine is 586g and the volume is 188mL, you can substitute these values into the formula:
Density = 586g / 188mL
To get the density in grams per milliliter (g/mL), divide the mass by the volume:
Density = 3.1138 g/mL
Therefore, the density of bromine is approximately 3.1138 g/mL.
