mL to grams conversion depends on the substance's density. For water, 1 mL equals 1 gram since its density is 1 g/mL. However, for other substances, you need their density to convert. The formula is: grams = mL × density. This approach ensures accuracy in your conversions.
FAQs & Answers
- Is 1 mL always equal to 1 gram? No, 1 mL is equal to 1 gram specifically for water. Other substances require their density for accurate conversion.
- How do I find the density of a substance? Density can typically be found on the substance's packaging, in scientific literature or by calculating mass divided by volume.
- Can I use this formula for all liquids? Yes, the mL to grams conversion formula can be used for all liquids, but you need the specific density of each liquid.
- What role does temperature play in density? Temperature can affect the density of a substance, so conversions should be done under consistent temperature conditions for accuracy.
