This tool simplifies the process of calculating the weight of acetone based on its volume and density. Ideal for quick conversions and calculations, it aids in laboratory preparations and industrial processes, ensuring that the correct amounts of acetone are used or stored.
Acetone Weight Calculator Formula
The formula to calculate the weight of acetone is straightforward:
- Weight = Volume × Density
Detailed Steps for the Calculation:
- Volume (V): Measure the volume of acetone, typically in liters (L).
- Density (ρ): Use the standard density of acetone at room temperature, approximately 0.791 g/mL or 791 kg/m³.
- Conversion Factors:
- Convert milliliters to liters if necessary (1 mL = 0.001 L).
- Use the density in appropriate units (g/mL for small volumes, kg/L for larger volumes).
Calculate Weight:
- If the volume is in liters:
- Weight in kg = Volume in L × Density in kg/L
- If the volume is in milliliters:
- Weight in g = Volume in mL × Density in g/mL

Examples of Acetone Weight Calculator
Example Calculation: Suppose you need to calculate the weight of 2 liters of acetone:
- Volume = 2 L
- Weight = 2 × 791 kg/m³ = 1582 g or 1.582 kg
Most Common FAQs
The density value of 0.791 g/mL is standard at 20°C. Adjustments may be needed for significant temperature variations.
This calculator assumes pure acetone. For solutions, adjust the density based on the concentration.
Always use acetone in well-ventilated areas, away from open flames, and with appropriate personal protective equipment.
