How do you find mass when density is only given?

Best Answer

The relation between mass(M), density(ρ) and volume(V) is given by: M = ρ x V.

So mass can be calculated only if both density and volume are known.

Density is a measure of amount of substance per unit volume, so mass can't be calculated until the volume of substance is known.

How do you find DENSITY If only mass and volume is given?

You can't. In order to calculate a density, you need a mass and a volume.


How do you calculate the volume of an object when you are given only the mass and the density?

density=mass/volume volume=mass/density


How do you find the volume and density if only the mass was given?

You cannot. You can determine the third variable if two are given but not determine two when given only one. You have to find some other way to first determine volume or density.


How do you find mass when given the density?

Density depends on mass and volume. If you know any two of the three quantities, you can calculate the missing one. If you only know the density, you can't find the mass of a sample until you first measure its volume. Density at times is posted at lb/gal. Multiply the density by the volume in gallons to give you mass.


How do you find volume with only density and mass?

Look up the density of the substance and divide the mass by the density to find volume.============================In order to use the method in the first answer, you must know the substance.But the question says clearly that only the massis given. In that case, it'snot possible to find the volume.


How do you find the volume of mercury if only the density is known?

Use a mass balance to find the mass then find the volume by V=mass/density.


How do you find the mass density of a sphere who's mass is 5000 grams?

Density is the mass per unit volume. e.g. kg/m3. But you've only given one of the quantities needed - we still need the volume of the sphere.


How do you get the density if you are only given the volume?

You can't. Density = (mass) divided by (volume). That's three numbers. I order to find any one of them, you have to know the other two.


Density is referring to the amount of mass in only 1 of matreial?

Density refers to the mass of a given volume of a substance for comparative purposes usually.
