Mass is always constant for a body. One way to calculate mass:
Mass = volume × density
. Weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on a mass. The SI unit of mass is “kilogram”.
How do you calculate mass in chemistry?
MASS OF A SUBSTANCE
= VOLUME X DENSITY
.
How do you calculate mass and volume?
The Density Calculator uses the formula
p=m/V
, or density (p) is equal to mass (m) divided by volume (V). The calculator can use any two of the values to calculate the third. Density is defined as mass per unit volume.
How do you calculate mass density?
Density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is
d = M/V
, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre.
How can you measure the mass of an object?
To measure mass, you would
use a balance
. In the lab, mass may be measured with a triple beam balance or an electronic balance, but the old-fashioned balance pictured below may give you a better idea of what mass is.
What is the formula of volume?
| Table 3. Volume Formulas | Shape Formula Variables | Cube V=s3 s is the length of the side. | Right Rectangular Prism V=LWH L is the length, W is the width and H is the height. | Prism or Cylinder V=Ah A is the area of the base, h is the height. |

What is the mass volume?
The mass/volume percent
What is the formula for calculating molar mass?
The characteristic molar mass of an element is simply the atomic mass in g/mol. However, molar mass can also be calculated by
multiplying the atomic mass in amu by the molar mass constant (1 g/mol)
.
What is the mass of MG?
- Mass magnesium = 2.39 g.
- Mass magnesium oxide = 3.78 g.
- So mass oxygen = 1.39 g.
- Number moles Mg = 2.39/24 = 0.0995.
- Number moles O = 1.39/16 = 0.0868.
- Divide by the smallest to give the ratio aproximately 1 Mg : 1 O.
- This would suggest a formula of MgO, which is the correct formula.
What is a mass in chemistry?
Mass is
a measure of the amount of matter that an object contains
. The mass of an object is made in comparison to the standard mass of 1 kilogram. The kilogram was originally defined as the mass of 1 L of liquid water at 4°C (volume of a liquid changes slightly with temperature).
What unit is density measured in?
Density has the units of mass divided by volume such as
grams per centimeters cube (g/cm3)
or kilograms per liter (kg/l).
How do you convert density to mass and volume?
Divide the mass by the density of the substance to
determine the volume (mass/density = volume). Remember to keep the units of measure consistent. For example, if the density is given in grams per cubic centimeter, then measure the mass in grams and give the volume in cubic centimeters.
How do we calculate area?
We measure area in square units : cm2 or m2. Area is
calculated by multiplying the length of a shape by its width
. In this case, we could work out the area of this rectangle even if it wasn’t on squared paper, just by working out 5cm x 5cm = 25cm2 (the shape is not drawn to scale).
