Density Formula:
From: | To: |
Molarity to density conversion calculates the density of a solution using its molar concentration and molecular weight. This is particularly useful in chemistry for determining solution properties and concentrations.
The calculator uses the density formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts molar concentration to density by multiplying molarity by molecular weight and dividing by 1000 to convert from g/L to g/mL.
Details: Density calculation is essential in various chemical applications, including solution preparation, quality control, and understanding physical properties of substances in both academic and industrial settings.
Tips: Enter molarity in mol/L and molecular weight in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be displayed in g/mL.
Q1: Why divide by 1000 in the formula?
A: We divide by 1000 to convert from grams per liter (g/L) to grams per milliliter (g/mL), as 1 L = 1000 mL.
Q2: Can this calculator be used for any solution?
A: This calculator works best for ideal solutions where the density is primarily determined by the solute concentration. For non-ideal solutions, additional factors may need to be considered.
Q3: What are typical density values for common solutions?
A: Density values typically range from about 0.8 g/mL for some organic solvents to 1.2 g/mL or higher for concentrated aqueous solutions.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation provides a theoretical density. Actual density may vary slightly due to temperature, pressure, and solution non-ideality.
Q5: Can I use this for gas density calculations?
A: No, this formula is specifically for liquid solutions. Gas density calculations require different approaches considering temperature and pressure.
