How to find volume with density and mass?
To convert something's mass to volume or vice versa, you need to know its density. What is density? It's mass-to-volume ratio — a physical property of every material. For example, water at 4 °C has a density of 1 kg/l. It means that one liter of water weighs one kilogram. You've probably already guessed what formula will tie these three values together:
density = mass / volume
It's worth knowing that density slightly changes with temperature and pressure. While it doesn't matter in most cases (like cooking), it might be significant if you're building something or doing a science experiment.
So, how do you calculate volume with mass and density? You need to rearrange the formula to:
volume = mass / density
Whenever you use this formula, remember to be concise with units. For example, if you input mass in pounds and volume in gallons, you will get density in pounds per gallon. In our volume to mass calculator, you can input values in any unit you want — our calculator will convert them and make correct calculations.

Density-mass-volume triangle
The density-mass-volume triangle is a helpful trick to help you remember the density formula:
density = mass / volume
To draw a density-mass-volume triangle, you have to:
- Draw a triangle;
- Divide it into three parts with two lines; and
- Write down the mass in the top part and density and volume in the bottom parts.
Do you see how the horizontal line looks like a fractional dash? Looking at this triangle, you can deduce that:
- Density equals mass divided by volume;
- Volume equals mass divided by density; and
- Mass equals density times volume.
Now, without trouble, you will always remember how to convert volume to mass. And if you don't know the density – we might have it in our volume to mass calculator! So, feel free to use it whenever you need it!
FAQ
How do I find density with mass and volume?
To find density with mass and volume, you simply need to divide the mass by the volume, as shown in the formula:
density = mass / volume
However, if you wish to simplify the process further, Omni Calculator’s volume to mass calculator is at your disposal.
What’s the density-mass-volume triangle?
The density-mass-volume triangle is a little trick to help you remember the density formula. Picture a triangle divided into three sections, with mass at the top and density and volume at the two bottom sections. Since the horizontal line looks like a fraction symbol, this reminds you that mass / density = volume and mass / volume = density.
How many grams are in a cup of water?
There are 237 grams in a cup of water. To get this value:
-
Use the density formula:
density = mass/volume -
Rearrange the formula as:
mass = density × volume -
Substitute the values into the formula. We assume water has a density of 1 g/ml, and 1 cup is equal to 237 ml.
-
This means that there are 237 grams in a cup of water.
When using this formula, ensure all values are in consistent units. Alternatively, simplify the conversions by using Omni Calculator’s volume to mass calculator.
What’s the volume of 10 grams of air?
The volume is 8299 cm³. To determine the volume of 10 grams of air, use the formula:
volume = mass / density
Assuming air at 20 °C with a density of 0.001205 g/cm³, we can substitute the known values into the formula to find that the volume occupied by 10 grams of air is 8299 cm³.
