To convert mL to kg of a liquid, you need to know the liquid's density (in kg/L). Use the formula: mass (kg) = volume (mL) × density (kg/L) / 1000. For instance, if you have 500 mL of a liquid with a density of 1.2 kg/L, the calculation would be 500 × 1.2 / 1000 = 0.6 kg. Accurate results require the liquid's exact density, which can usually be found on the material's safety data sheet or packaging.
