1. What is Mole Calculation from Volume Percentage?

This calculator determines the amount of substance (in moles) from volume percentage concentration, density, molecular weight, and total volume. It's commonly used in chemistry and solution preparation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

\[ n = \frac{vol\%}{100} \times \frac{\rho}{MW} \times V_{total} \]

Where:

\( n \) — Amount of substance (moles)
\( vol\% \) — Volume percentage concentration
\( \rho \) — Density of the substance (g/mL)
\( MW \) — Molecular weight of the substance (g/mol)
\( V_{total} \) — Total volume of the solution (mL)

Explanation: The equation converts volume percentage to a fraction, then calculates the mass of the solute using density, and finally converts this mass to moles using the molecular weight.

3. Importance of Mole Calculation

Details: Accurate mole calculation is essential for solution preparation, stoichiometric calculations, chemical reactions, and analytical chemistry applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter volume percentage (0-100%), density (must be > 0), molecular weight (must be > 0), and total volume (must be > 0). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between volume percentage and mass percentage?
A: Volume percentage is based on volumes, while mass percentage is based on weights. They're only equal when densities of all components are equal.

Q2: Can I use this for gas mixtures?
A: For ideal gases at the same temperature and pressure, volume percentage equals mole percentage. For non-ideal conditions, corrections may be needed.

Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: Accuracy depends on the precision of your input values and assumes ideal mixing behavior (no volume change on mixing).

Q4: What if my substance is a solid?
A: Volume percentage is typically used for liquid solutions. For solids, mass percentage or molarity are more common concentration measures.

Q5: Can I calculate molarity from this result?
A: Yes, divide the moles by the total volume in liters to get molarity (mol/L).
