No, 1 mg (milligram) is a unit of mass, while 1 ml (milliliter) is a unit of volume. Their relationship depends on the substance's density. For example, 1 ml of water is approximately equal to 1 g (gram), but this varies for other substances.

FAQs & Answers

  1. How do you convert mg to ml? To convert mg to ml, divide the mass in mg by the substance's density in mg/ml.
  2. What substances have different mg and ml ratios? Substances like oils and alcohols have varying ratios due to differences in density.
  3. Why are mass and volume different units? Mass measures the amount of matter, while volume measures the space it occupies, which can vary by substance.
  4. What is a milligram equivalent to in grams? 1 milligram (mg) is equivalent to 0.001 grams (g).
