Enter the mass in grams and the density of the substance in grams per cubic centimeter into the calculator to determine the volume. This calculator helps in converting the mass of a substance to its corresponding volume.
Grams To Volume Formula
The following formula is used to convert grams to volume.
V = M / D
Variables:
- V is the volume (cubic centimeters)
- M is the mass (grams)
- D is the density (grams per cubic centimeter)
To convert grams to volume, divide the mass of the substance by its density.
What is the Volume?
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface. It is often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic meter. For substances, volume can be determined by dividing the mass of the substance by its density, assuming the substance is homogenous.
How to Calculate Volume from Mass and Density?
The following steps outline how to calculate the volume from mass and density.
- First, determine the mass (M) of the substance in grams.
- Next, determine the density (D) of the substance in grams per cubic centimeter.
- Use the formula from above = V = M / D.
- Finally, calculate the volume (V) in cubic centimeters.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
mass (M) = 200 grams
density (D) = 1.5 grams per cubic centimeter
