Find the volume of the substance
The volume of substance is a quantitative measure of the space occupied by a substance in one of its possible states: liquid, solid, gaseous, etc. Regarding liquid and gaseous substances, one can talk about the capacity of the vessel in which it is located. The volume of solid substance is determined by the formula V = m/density. The volume of gas is calculated by the formula V = n*Vm , where the molar amount n = m/M.
Calculating the volume of a substance can be in demand when solving various practical tasks. Archimedes, in particular, discovered with his finding that the king's crown was not made of pure gold. In engineering and design tasks, it is often required to find out both the weight of parts of a certain size and their volume. By calculating the volume, the need for concrete and other building materials is determined.
