How to Calculate and Solve for the Volume of a Constituent, Volume of a Mixture and Volume Concentration in Chemistry | The Calculator Encyclopedia

Last Updated on February 18, 2024

To calculate the volume concentration of a substance, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are the volume of the constituent (V_i) and the volume of the mixture (V).

The formula for calculating volume concentration:

φ = ^V_i ⁄ _V

Where;
φ = Volume concentration
V_i = Volume of the constituent
V = Volume of the mixture

Let’s solve an example;
Find the volume concentration with a volume of the constituent of 23 and a volume of the mixture of 32.

This implies that;
V_i = Volume of the constituent = 23
V = Volume of the mixture = 32

That is, φ = ^V_i ⁄ _V
φ = ^₂₃ ⁄ ₃₂
φ = 0.718

Therefore, the volume concentration is 0.718.

Calculating the Volume of the Constituent when the Volume Concentration and the Volume of the Mixture is Given

V_i = Vφ

Where;
φ = Volume concentration
V = Volume of the mixture

Let’s solve an example;
Find the volume of the constituent with a volume concentration of 18 and a volume of the mixture of 22.

This implies that;
φ = Volume concentration = 18
V = Volume of the mixture = 22

Then, V_i = Vφ
V_i = 18 x 22
V_i = 396

Therefore, the volume of the constituent is 396 cm³.

Calculating the Volume of the Mixture when the Volume Concentration and the Volume of the Constituent is Given

V = ^φ / _Vi

Where;
φ = Volume concentration
V = Volume of the constituent

Let’s solve an example;
Find the volume of the mixture with a volume concentration of 24 and a volume of the constituent of 6.

This implies that;
φ = Volume concentration = 24
V = Volume of the constituent = 6

That is, V = ^φ / _Vi
V = ²⁴ / ₆
V = 4

Therefore, the volume of the mixture is 6 cm³.
