154 views
To convert milliliters (ml) to grams (g), you need the substance's density (g/ml). The formula is mass (g) = volume (ml) × density (g/ml). Since water's density is approximately 1 g/ml, 1 ml of water is roughly equal to 1 gram. For other substances, look up their specific density, then apply the formula for accurate conversion.
FAQs & Answers
- Why do you need density to convert ml to grams? Because milliliters measure volume and grams measure mass, density (mass per unit volume) is needed to accurately convert between them for different substances.
- Is 1 ml always equal to 1 gram? No, 1 ml equals 1 gram only for substances with a density of 1 g/ml, like water. Other substances require knowing their specific density.
- How do I find the density of a substance for conversion? You can find density values in scientific tables, product datasheets, or reliable online resources specific to the substance.
