To calculate the mass concentration, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are mass (m) and volume (V).
The formula for calculating mass concentration:
ρ = m ⁄ V
Where;
ρ = Mass concentration
m = Mass
V = Volume
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass concentration when the mass is 8 kg with a volume of 24 dm³.
This implies that;
m = Mass = 8
V = Volume = 24
Then, ρ = m ⁄ V
ρ = 8 ⁄ 24
ρ = 0.33
Therefore, the mass concentration is 0.33 Kg/dm³.
Calculating the Mass when the Mass Concentration and the Volume is Given
m = Vρ
Where;
m = Mass
ρ = Mass concentration
V = Volume
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass when the mass concentration is 12 kg/dm³ with a volume of 7 dm³.
This implies that;
ρ = Mass concentration = 12
V = Volume = 7
So, m = Vρ
m = 12 x 7
m = 84
Therefore, the mass concentration is 84 kg.

Calculating the Volume when the Mass Concentration and the Mass is Given
V = m / ρ
Where;
V = Volume
m = Mass
ρ = Mass concentration
Let’s solve an example;
Find the volume when the mass concentration is 18 kg/dm³ with a mass of 32 kg.
This implies that;
ρ = Mass concentration = 18
m = Mass = 32
That is, V = m / ρ
V = 32 / 18
V = 1.77
Therefore, the volume is 1.77 dm3.
