No, 1 mL is not necessarily equal to 1g. The relationship between milliliters (mL) and grams (g) depends on the substance's density. For instance, 1 mL of water is approximately equal to 1g, but for other substances, this conversion can vary.

FAQs & Answers

  1. When is 1 mL equal to 1g? 1 mL is approximately equal to 1g when referring to water at standard temperature and pressure.
  2. Does the conversion vary for different substances? Yes, the conversion varies depending on the density of the substance. For example, 1 mL of oil will weigh less than 1g.
  3. How do I convert other liquids from mL to grams? To convert other liquids from mL to grams, you need to know the density of the liquid and use the formula: grams = mL × density.
  4. What is density? Density is defined as mass per unit volume and is commonly expressed in g/mL.
