How to Convert Kilograms to Milliliters: Understanding the Difference

Learn why you can't directly convert kg to mL and how density affects volume measurements.

0 views

No, we cannot directly convert kilograms (kg) to milliliters (mL) as they are units for different types of measurements. Kilograms measure weight or mass, while milliliters measure volume. Conversion depends on the substance's density. For example, 1 kg of water is approximately 1000 mL.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Can you convert kg to mL for all substances? No, the conversion depends on the density of the substance.
  2. What is the formula to convert kilograms to milliliters? The formula is: Volume (mL) = Mass (kg) / Density (kg/L).
  3. How many mL are in a kilogram of water? 1 kg of water is approximately 1000 mL.
  4. What does density mean in terms of conversion? Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance, which allows conversion between mass and volume.
