Density ρ = m/V — mass per unit volume. Water density = 1.0 g/cm³.
Iron: 7.87 g/cm³. Aluminium: 2.70. Gold: 19.3. Air: 0.0012.
Objects less dense than the liquid they're in will float (Archimedes' principle).
This tool is most appropriate for students, researchers, and practitioners who need a quick, accurate result without manual derivation. The formula and constants used are shown alongside the result for verification.
A frequent mistake is applying a formula outside the conditions for which it was derived. Many scientific formulas assume ideal conditions, negligible friction, or specific temperature and pressure ranges. Verify the formula's applicability to your scenario.
A chemistry student calculates the molarity of a prepared solution from the mass of solute and volume of solvent. The calculator applies the formula with the correct molar mass and produces a result in mol/L — formatted for direct use in subsequent equilibrium or stoichiometry calculations.
Pure water at 4°C has a density of exactly 1.000 g/cm³ (1,000 kg/m³).
