Percent Volume Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the percent by volume of a solute to the solution.
PV = Vsolute / Vsolution *100
- Where PV is the percent by volume of a solute to solution (%)
- Vsolute is the volume of solute
- Vsolution is the volume of the solution
To calculate a percentage volume, divide the volume of the solute by the volume of the solution, then multiply by 100.
The units for volume can be whatever they are given in as long as they are the same for both the solute and solute.
Percent By Volume Definition
In the simplest terms, a percent volume is just a percentage ratio of one volume to another, but this term is most often used in chemistry when describing the percentage ratio of solute volume to solution volume.
Percent By Volume Example
How to calculate percent volume?
- First, measure the volume of the solute.
Measure the total volume of the solute.
- Next, measure the volume of solution.
Measure the total volume of the entire solution.
- Finally, calculate the percent volume.
Calculate the percentage of the volume that is the solute using the equation above.
FAQ
