Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the volume in liters based on mass and density using the formula V = m/ρ.
Purpose: It helps convert between mass and volume when working with liquids or materials where density is known.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The mass is divided by density to calculate the equivalent volume.
Details: Accurate volume calculation is essential for liquid measurements, chemical preparations, and material conversions in various industries.
Tips: Enter the mass in kilograms and density in kg/L (default 1.0 for water). All values must be > 0.
Q1: What units does this calculator use?
A: Mass in kilograms (kg), density in kilograms per liter (kg/L), and volume in liters (L).
Q2: What's the density of water?
A: Water has a density of 1.0 kg/L at 4°C.
Q3: Can I use this for gases?
A: Yes, but gas densities are typically much lower (e.g., air ~0.001225 kg/L at sea level).
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's mathematically precise, but accuracy depends on your input values and whether density varies with conditions.
Q5: What if my density is in g/mL?
A: 1 g/mL = 1 kg/L, so you can use the same value directly.
