Answer: How much mass per unit of volume is in a substance

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.


Density=(mass)/(Volume)

It is fixed for a given compound at a fixed temperature.

Example: Mass of bromine = 586 grams

Volume of bromine = 188 ml

Putting in the values we get:


Density=(586g)/(188ml)=3.12g/ml

Thus density of bromine will be 3.12 g/ml and it is mass per unit of volume in a substance.
