100mL is not necessarily the same as 100g. It depends on the substance's density. For instance, 100mL of water equals 100g because water’s density is 1g/mL. However, 100mL of a different substance, like oil, might weigh less than 100g due to a lower density. Always check the substance’s specific density to convert between volume (mL) and mass (g).

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is the density of common liquids? Common liquids like water have a density of 1g/mL, while oils are less dense, averaging around 0.9g/mL.
  2. How can I convert mL to grams for different substances? To convert mL to grams, multiply the volume by the substance's density (g/mL). For example, 100mL of water is 100g, but 100mL of oil is less.
  3. Why is density important in cooking? Understanding density helps in accurate ingredient measurements, ensuring consistent recipes and successful cooking outcomes.
