Térfogatban

Térfogatban is a Hungarian term that translates to "in volume" or "by volume." It is primarily used in scientific and technical contexts to specify the proportion of a substance or component within a mixture or solution, based on its occupied space rather than its mass or molarity. This measurement is often contrasted with "tömegben" (by mass) or "mólarányban" (in molar ratio).

For example, when discussing the composition of a liquid mixture, stating a component's concentration in térfogatban would indicate the percentage of the total liquid volume that component occupies. This is particularly relevant for liquids with densities that vary significantly, as a given mass of one substance might occupy a different volume than the same mass of another.

In practical applications, térfogatban measurements are common in fields such as chemistry, materials science, and engineering. They are used in recipes for mixtures, in the specification of commercial products, and in the reporting of experimental results. Understanding whether a concentration is given in térfogatban or by mass is crucial for accurate calculations and for replicating procedures. The concept allows for a direct understanding of how much physical space a particular component takes up within the whole.
