1.5 grams refers to a measure of weight and does not directly translate to milliliters (ml), a measure of volume. The conversion depends on the substance's density. For example, 1.5 grams of water equals 1.5 ml since water has a density of 1 gram/ml. For other substances, you need their specific density to convert accurately.
