To calculate volume for a density calculation, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Mass} \div \text{Density} \]
- Identify the Mass: Determine the mass of the substance (in grams or kilograms).
- Know the Density: Find the density of the substance (in grams per cubic centimeter or kilograms per cubic meter).
- Calculate Volume: Use the formula above to find the volume.
For example, if you have 100 grams of a substance with a density of 2 g/cm³, then:
\[ \text{Volume} = 100 , \text{g} \div 2 , \text{g/cm}^3 = 50 , \text{cm}^3 \]
This gives you the volume needed for your density calculation.
