Calculate Percent Volume



Formula

The formula for calculating percent volume is:

\[ PV = \frac{V_{solute}}{V_{solution}} \times 100 \]

Where:

Percent By Volume Definition

In the simplest terms, a percent volume is just a percentage ratio of one volume to another, but this term is most often used in chemistry when describing the percentage ratio of solute volume to solution volume.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the percent volume:

\[ PV = \frac{2}{10} \times 100 = 20\% \]

The percent volume is 20%.
