Understanding Liquid Density

Density describes how much mass is packed into a given volume. For liquids, it is typically measured in grams per milliliter (g/mL). Knowing a liquid's density lets you convert between volume and mass accurately.

Key Relationships

Mass = Volume × Density
Volume = Mass ÷ Density

Why Density Varies

  • Molecular weight — Heavier molecules pack more mass per unit volume.
  • Temperature — Warmer liquids expand and become less dense.
  • Dissolved solids — Sugar, salt, or minerals increase density.
  • Pressure — Affects gases significantly but liquids only slightly.

Liquid Density FAQ

Common questions about liquid density values.

Mercury at 13.534 g/mL is the densest commonly encountered liquid. It's so dense that iron floats on it!

Oils have densities below 1.0 g/mL (e.g., olive oil is 0.918 g/mL). Since they are less dense than water, they float. This is also why oil spills spread across the surface of water.

Yes. Heating a liquid causes it to expand, lowering its density. The values in this table are measured at approximately 20 °C (room temperature). For precise work, always check the temperature.

To convert volume to mass: mass = volume × density. To convert mass to volume: volume = mass ÷ density. Find the density value here, then use our calculators for instant results.

These are standard reference values at approximately 20 °C. Real-world density may vary slightly based on temperature, purity, brand, and formulation. For most everyday and educational purposes, these values are sufficiently accurate.
