100gm and 100ml are not the same as they measure different things. 100gm refers to mass, while 100ml indicates volume. The two quantities align only for substances with a density of 1g/ml, like water. For other substances, weight and volume can vary significantly. To convert between the two, you need to know the density of the substance in question, which is measured in grams per milliliter (g/ml). Understanding this distinction can help in cooking and scientific applications.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is the difference between grams and milliliters? Grams (g) measure mass, while milliliters (ml) measure volume. They are not directly interchangeable without knowing the density of the substance.
  2. When are 100g and 100ml equivalent? 100g and 100ml are equivalent only for substances with a density of 1g/ml, such as water. For other substances, you need to consider their density for accurate conversion.
  3. How can I convert grams to milliliters? To convert grams to milliliters, use the formula: Volume (ml) = Mass (g) / Density (g/ml). Knowing the density of the substance is crucial.
  4. Why is understanding the difference between mass and volume important? Understanding the difference is important for precise measurements in cooking, chemistry, and various scientific applications.
