1. What is Methanol Density Calculator?

Definition: This calculator converts the density of methanol from kg/m³ to g/mL units.

Purpose: It helps chemists, engineers, and students quickly convert between these common density units for methanol.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( \rho_{g/mL} \) — Density in grams per milliliter
• \( \rho_{kg/m³} \) — Density in kilograms per cubic meter

Explanation: Since 1 kg/m³ equals 0.001 g/mL, we divide the kg/m³ value by 1000 to get the density in g/mL.

3. Importance of Methanol Density

Details: Methanol density is crucial for formulation, process design, and safety calculations in chemical industries. At 20°C, pure methanol has a density of about 0.792 g/mL (792 kg/m³).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the methanol density in kg/m³ (default value 792 kg/m³ for pure methanol at 20°C). The calculator will automatically convert it to g/mL.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is methanol density important?
A: Density affects volume measurements, storage requirements, and is needed for mass-volume conversions in chemical processes.

Q2: How does temperature affect methanol density?
A: Density decreases with increasing temperature. The default value is for 20°C.

Q3: What's the density of pure methanol?
A: Approximately 0.792 g/mL (792 kg/m³) at 20°C.

Q4: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact, but actual density depends on methanol purity and temperature.

Q5: Can I use this for methanol-water mixtures?
A: Only for pure methanol. Mixtures have different densities that vary with concentration.
