What is the difference between percent by mass and percent by volume?

If two substances have different densities then their mixture will contain different proportions depending on whether you look at their mass or volume.
For example, consider two substances, A and B where the densities of A and B are 1 gram per cc and 2 grams per cc, respectively. Suppose the mixture comprise 10 grams of A (= 10 cc) and 10 grams of B (= 5 cc). Then the total mass of A+B is 20 grams so that A accounts for 50% (10 out of 20) by mass. The total volume is 15 cc so A accounts for 67% (10/15) of the mixture.

How many sqft are in a ton?
None.A ton is a measure of mass. Mass is the amount of substance contained in some volume of a body. A square foot is a measure of area. It is a 2-dmensional measure and comprises no volume at all. Therefore, there cannot be any mass associated with an area.
What is the difference of percent of mass and percent of volume?
Percent of an objects mass is expressed in terms of its weight. Percent of an objects volume is expressed in terms of its size.
What is the difference between mass and size?
mass deals with density and volume but size deals with volume only.
What is the formula of the percent of volume and percent of mass?
% of volume = 100*(volume of substance that you are interested in)/(total volume) % of mass = 100*(mass of substance that you are interested in)/(total mass).
The difference between volume and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume the amount of space an object has.
What is the difference of percent by mass and percent by volume?
Percent per mass is exprimed in g/Kg, mg/kg, µg/kg, etc. Ex.: An ore contain 10 mg gold/kg ore. Percent per volume is exprimed in volume to volume. Ex.: Vodka contain 40 volumes of ethanol/100 volumes of liquid.
