1. What is the Volume Equation?

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.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the volume equation:

Where:

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

Explanation: The equation shows that volume is inversely proportional to density when mass is constant.

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate volume calculation is essential for laboratory measurements, industrial processes, medication preparation, and many scientific experiments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter mass in grams and density in g/mL. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be in milliliters (mL).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.
