How It Works

How to Calculate Solution Density

Formula

d = m / V

Where d is density (g/mL), m is mass (g), and V is volume (mL). Note: g/mL and kg/L are numerically identical.

Worked Example

A salt solution has mass 105 g and volume 100 mL.

mass_solution = 105volume_solution = 100
  1. 01d = m / V
  2. 02d = 105 / 100
  3. 03d = 1.05 g/mL
