First determine the weight of the density bottle(A1) when it's empty.
Then fill it with the liquid you want to determine the density.
Then determine the weight of the bottle with the liquid(A2).
Then the weight of the liquid is equal to (A2 - A1)
You already know the volume of the bottle.
Apply them to density = weight/volume
Make sure to mention the temperature you measured it because density varies from one temperature to another
