No, 1 ml is not equal to 25 mg. The conversion between milliliters (ml) and milligrams (mg) depends on the substance's density. For example, 1 ml of water weighs 1000 mg (1 gram), but 1 ml of a different substance may have a different weight. Always check the specific substance's density when converting between ml and mg.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What factors affect the conversion from ml to mg? The main factor is the density of the substance; different materials have different weights per volume.
  2. Is 1 ml always equal to 1000 mg? No, 1 ml of water equals 1000 mg, but for other substances, the weight can vary based on density.
  3. How do I find the density of a substance? You can find the density in literature or material safety data sheets (MSDS) specific to the substance.
  4. Can I use a scale to convert ml to mg directly? While a scale can measure weight directly in mg, you need to know the density to convert between ml and mg accurately.
