Understanding mL and Grams: Key Differences Explained

Learn the key differences between milliliters (mL) and grams, including measurement types and density's impact on conversions.

No, a milliliter (mL) is not inherently bigger than a gram. They measure different things: milliliters measure volume, while grams measure weight. For example, 1 milliliter of water roughly equals 1 gram in weight, but the equivalence varies with the substance's density.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Is 1 mL equal to 1 gram? 1 mL of water is approximately equal to 1 gram due to water's density, but this varies for other substances.
  2. How do you convert mL to grams? To convert mL to grams, you need to know the density of the substance; multiply the volume in mL by the density in g/mL.
  3. What does mL measure? mL measures volume, which indicates the space an object or liquid occupies.
  4. What does a gram measure? A gram measures weight, indicating the mass of an object.
