What is Fractional Volume?

Fractional volume is a measure of the proportion of a specific component within a mixture or solution. It is calculated by dividing the volume of the component by the total volume of the mixture. This concept is widely used in various scientific fields, including chemistry, physics, and engineering, to describe the concentration of a component within a mixture. Fractional volume is a dimensionless quantity and is often expressed as a percentage or a decimal.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ FV = \frac{2}{10} = 0.2 \text{ (or 20%)} \]

The Fractional Volume is 0.2 (or 20%).

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ FV = \frac{5}{25} = 0.2 \text{ (or 20%)} \]

The Fractional Volume is 0.2 (or 20%).
