No, 200 mL is not equal to a gram. The two units measure different things: milliliters (mL) measure volume, while grams (g) measure weight. The conversion between these units depends on the density of the substance. For example, 200 mL of water is indeed 200 grams, but this is not true for other substances.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is the difference between milliliters and grams? Milliliters measure volume, while grams measure weight; they are different types of measurements.
  2. Can 200 mL ever equal 200 grams? Yes, when measuring water, 200 mL equals 200 grams due to its density of 1 g/mL.
  3. How do I convert mL to grams for other substances? To convert mL to grams for other substances, multiply the volume in mL by the substance's density (g/mL).
  4. Is 1 mL always equal to 1 gram? No, 1 mL equals 1 gram only for substances with a density of 1 g/mL, like water; for others, the conversion will differ.
