1. What is Density of Mixed Liquids?

The density of a mixture of two liquids is calculated as the total mass divided by the total volume. This assumes the liquids mix completely without any volume contraction or expansion.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the density formula:

Where:

• \( m_1 \) — Mass of first liquid (g)
• \( m_2 \) — Mass of second liquid (g)
• \( V_1 \) — Volume of first liquid (mL)
• \( V_2 \) — Volume of second liquid (mL)

Explanation: The formula calculates the combined density by summing the masses and volumes separately, then dividing total mass by total volume.

3. Importance of Density Calculation

Details: Calculating mixture density is important for chemical processing, formulation development, quality control, and predicting how mixtures will behave in industrial processes.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter masses in grams and volumes in milliliters. Ensure all values are positive numbers. The calculator assumes complete mixing without volume changes.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does this work for more than two liquids?
A: Yes, you can extend the formula by adding more mass and volume terms in the numerator and denominator.

Q2: What if the liquids don't mix completely?
A: This calculator assumes ideal mixing. For immiscible liquids, you would need to account for separate phases.

Q3: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses grams for mass and milliliters for volume by default, but any consistent units will work (e.g., kg and L).

Q4: Does temperature affect the result?
A: Yes, since density is temperature-dependent, measurements should be made at consistent temperatures.

Q5: What if there's volume contraction or expansion?
A: This simple formula doesn't account for non-ideal mixing behavior where the total volume may not equal the sum of individual volumes.
