No, 1 g is not always equal to 1 mL. The relationship between grams and milliliters depends on the substance's density. For example, 1 mL of water equals 1 gram because water has a density of 1 g/mL. However, other liquids and substances may have different densities, meaning 1 mL may weigh more or less than 1 gram.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is the density of water? The density of water is 1 g/mL at 4 degrees Celsius.
  2. How do I convert grams to milliliters for other substances? To convert grams to milliliters, divide the mass in grams by the density of the substance in g/mL.
  3. Can 1 mL of any liquid weigh 1 gram? No, 1 mL of any liquid does not weigh 1 gram; the weight depends on the liquid's density.
