How to Calculate the Mass of a Liquid: A Step-by-Step Guide

Learn how to easily determine the mass of any liquid using the density and volume formula.

90 views

To calculate the mass of a liquid, use the formula: mass = density x volume. First, measure the volume of the liquid in liters (L) or milliliters (mL). Then, look up the density of the liquid, usually in grams per milliliter (g/mL) or kilograms per liter (kg/L). Multiply the volume by the density to get the mass. For example, if you have 2 liters of water (density = 1 kg/L), the mass would be 2 kg.
