Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
The volume of a liquid can be calculated using the formula V = Mass / Density. This fundamental relationship in physics and chemistry allows you to determine the volume occupied by a given mass of a substance when you know its density.
The calculator uses the volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula shows that volume is inversely proportional to density when mass is constant. Substances with higher density will occupy less volume for the same mass.
Details: Calculating volume from mass and density is essential in laboratory work, chemical manufacturing, cooking, and many industrial processes where precise measurements are required.
Tips: Enter mass in grams and density in g/mL. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the volume in milliliters (mL).
Q1: What units should I use for this calculation?
A: The calculator expects mass in grams (g) and density in grams per milliliter (g/mL). The result will be in milliliters (mL).
Q2: Can I use this for any liquid?
A: Yes, as long as you know the liquid's density at the given temperature. Remember that density often changes with temperature.
Q3: What is the density of water?
A: Pure water has a density of approximately 1 g/mL at 4°C. At room temperature (20-25°C), it's about 0.997 g/mL.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The accuracy depends on the precision of your mass and density measurements. The calculation itself is mathematically exact.
Q5: Can I calculate mass if I know volume and density?
A: Yes, you can rearrange the formula: Mass = Volume × Density.
