To go from density to grams, use the formula: grams = density × volume. Determine the substance's density (usually in g/cm³ or g/mL) and measure its volume in the same unit (cm³ or mL). Multiply the two values to find the mass in grams. For example, if the density is 2 g/cm³ and the volume is 3 cm³, then 2 × 3 = 6 grams.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is the formula to convert density to grams? The formula is grams = density × volume, where density is often in g/cm³ or g/mL.
  2. How do I find the density of a substance? To find density, divide the mass of the substance by its volume.
  3. Can I convert liters to grams using density? Yes, convert liters to milliliters (1 L = 1000 mL), then use the formula grams = density × volume.
  4. What units are used for density in this calculation? Density is usually measured in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or grams per milliliter (g/mL).
