All Rights Reserved. Proportionality and Density Direct proportionality between two variables (mass and volume, for instance) is indicated by m V Proportionality can be changed into an equation by inserting a proportionality constant Proportionality constant: Nonzero constant in the equation that expresses the relationship between two variables m V m=D×V Solving for the proportionality constant yields the defining equation for a physical property of a pure substance called its density D m V Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning.
