Liquid Volume Formula:
Liquid volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a liquid within a container or any defined boundary. It is measured in cubic units such as cubic centimetres (cm3), litres (L), or gallons (gal). Liquid volume is an essential parameter in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemical processing, and fluid dynamics.
The measurement of liquid volume is crucial for ensuring proper mixing ratios, storage, transportation, and industrial applications where precise volume calculations are necessary. Unlike solids, liquids conform to the shape of their container, meaning their volume depends on the dimensions of the vessel.
Liquid volume can be determined by direct measurement using graduated containers, such as measuring cylinders, beakers, and pipettes, or through calculation based on mass and density. The density of a liquid, usually expressed in grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm3) or kilograms per litre (kg/L), is a key factor in determining its volume.
Liquid Volume, LV(cm3) in cubic centimetres equals the mass, M(g) in grams divided by the density, d(g/cm3) in grams per cubic centimetres.
Liquid Volume, LV(cm3) = M(g) / d(g/cm3)
LV(cm3) = liquid volume in cubic centimetres, cm3.
M(g) = mass in grams, g.
d(g/cm3) = density in grams per cubic centimetres, g/cm3.
Liquid Volume Calculation:
- A container holds a liquid with a mass of 500g, and the liquid has a density of 1.2 g/cm3. Calculate the volume of the liquid.
Given: M(g) = 500g, d(g/cm3) = 1.2g/cm3.
Liquid Volume, LV(cm3) = M(g) / d(g/cm3)
LV(cm3) = 500 / 1.2
LV(cm3) = 416.67cm3.
- A liquid fills 250 cm3 of a container, and its density is 0.85 g/cm3. Find the mass of the liquid.
Given: LV(cm3) = 250cm3, d(g/cm3) = 0.85g/cm3.
Liquid Volume, LV(cm3) = M(g) / d(g/cm3)
M(g) = LV(cm3) * d(g/cm3)
M(g) = 250 * 0.85
M(g) = 212.5g.
