To calculate the volume concentration of a substance, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are the volume of the constituent (Vi) and the volume of the mixture (V).
The formula for calculating volume concentration:
φ = Vi ⁄ V
Where;
φ = Volume concentration
Vi = 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;
Vi = Volume of the constituent = 23
V = Volume of the mixture = 32
That is, φ = Vi ⁄ 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
Vi = 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, Vi = Vφ
Vi = 18 x 22
Vi = 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.
