The conversion from milliliters (mL) to grams (g) depends on the density of the substance. For water, 1,000 mL (1 liter) equals approximately 1,000 grams (1 kilogram) because the density of water is roughly 1 g/mL. For other substances, the number of grams will vary based on their density.
FAQs & Answers
- Does 1,000 ml always equal 1,000 grams? No. 1,000 ml equals 1,000 grams only when the substance has a density of 1 g/ml, such as water. For other substances, the weight in grams depends on their density.
- How do I convert milliliters to grams for substances other than water? To convert milliliters to grams for other substances, multiply the volume (in ml) by the substance's density (in g/ml).
- What is the density of water in grams per milliliter? The density of water is approximately 1 gram per milliliter at standard temperature and pressure.
