Liquid Ethylene Density Calculator

Ethylene (C₂H₄, ethene) is the simplest alkene and an important industrial feedstock. In its liquid phase it exists between about $-169$ °C (melting point) and $-104$ °C (normal boiling point at 1 bar), though higher pressure extends the liquid range toward the critical point near $9$ °C and $50.4$ bar.

This calculator supports two methods. First, compute density experimentally from mass and volume:

$$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$$

Second, estimate saturated liquid density from temperature using NIST-based saturation data with linear interpolation. At the normal boiling point, liquid ethylene density is about $568$ kg/m³.

Pair this tool with the Density Calculator, Combustion Reaction Calculator, and Molar Mass Calculator for broader chemistry workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the formula of ethylene?

Ethylene has the formula C₂H₄ or H₂C=CH₂. Its molar mass is about 28.05 g/mol.

When is ethylene a liquid?

At atmospheric pressure, ethylene is liquid between roughly -169 °C and -104 °C. At higher pressure the liquid range extends to higher temperatures up to the critical point.

How do I calculate density from mass and volume?

Divide mass by volume after converting both to consistent SI units. For example, 500 g in 850 mL gives about 588 kg/m³.

What density units are supported?

The tool reports kg/m³, g/cm³, and g/L. Experimental and lookup results use the same underlying SI calculation.
