Density Formula:
From: | To: |
The density of a mixture is calculated by dividing the total mass of all components by the total volume of all components. This assumes no volume change occurs when the liquids are mixed (ideal mixing conditions).
The calculator uses the density formula:
Where:
Explanation: The equation sums all masses and all volumes separately, then divides total mass by total volume to get the mixture density.
Details: Density is a fundamental physical property used in chemistry, engineering, and material science to characterize mixtures and solutions.
Tips: Enter comma-separated values for masses and volumes. Ensure you use consistent units (all masses in g or kg, all volumes in mL or L).
Q1: What if volumes aren't additive?
A: This calculator assumes ideal mixing. For non-ideal mixtures where volumes change, more complex calculations are needed.
Q2: Can I use different units for different components?
A: No, all masses must be in the same unit (all g or all kg), and all volumes must be in the same unit (all mL or all L).
Q3: What's the difference between g/mL and kg/L?
A: These units are numerically equivalent (1 g/mL = 1 kg/L), so the result applies to both.
Q4: How many components can I include?
A: You can include as many components as needed, as long as you provide equal numbers of mass and volume values.
Q5: What about temperature effects?
A: This calculator doesn't account for temperature. For precise work, ensure all measurements are at the same temperature.
