1. What is the Volume Formula?

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.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the volume formula:

Where:

• \( V \) — Volume (mL)
• \( Mass \) — Mass of the liquid (g)
• \( Density \) — Density of the liquid (g/mL)

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.

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Calculating volume from mass and density is essential in laboratory work, chemical manufacturing, cooking, and many industrial processes where precise measurements are required.

4. Using the Calculator

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).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.
