The weight of 50 mL of a substance in grams depends on its density. For water, 50 mL equals 50 grams because the density of water is 1 g/mL. For substances with different densities, you'll need to multiply the volume (50 mL) by the substance's density (in g/mL) to find the weight in grams.
FAQs & Answers
- How do I convert milliliters to grams? To convert milliliters (mL) to grams (g), multiply the volume by the density of the substance (in g/mL). For water, this is 1 g/mL, so 50 mL equals 50 grams.
- Why does 50 mL of water weigh 50 grams? Because water has a density of 1 gram per milliliter, the weight in grams is equal to the volume in milliliters, making 50 mL weigh 50 grams.
- Does 50 mL of all liquids weigh the same in grams? No, the weight depends on the liquid's density. For example, 50 mL of oil weighs less than 50 grams because oil is less dense than water.
