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
- 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.
