Volume Equation:
From: | To: |
The volume equation (V = Mass / Density) calculates the volume of a liquid based on its mass and density. This fundamental physics relationship is widely used in chemistry, physics, and engineering applications.
The calculator uses the volume equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation shows that volume is inversely proportional to density when mass is constant.
Details: Accurate volume calculation is essential for laboratory measurements, industrial processes, medication preparation, and many scientific experiments.
Tips: Enter mass in grams and density in g/mL. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be in milliliters (mL).
Q1: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses grams for mass and g/mL for density, yielding mL for volume. For other units, convert first.
Q2: Can I use this for gases?
A: While the equation works for gases, gas densities vary significantly with temperature and pressure.
Q3: What's the density of water?
A: Pure water has a density of about 1 g/mL at 4°C, and approximately 0.997 g/mL at 25°C.
Q4: How precise should my measurements be?
A: Precision depends on your application. For most purposes, 2-4 significant figures are sufficient.
Q5: Does temperature affect the calculation?
A: Yes, since density changes with temperature. Use density values measured at your working temperature.
