FAQs & Answers

  1. Is 1 gram always equal to 1 milliliter? No, 1 gram is only equal to 1 milliliter for water due to its density. Other substances may have different conversion rates based on their density.
  2. How do you convert grams to milliliters for other liquids? To convert grams to milliliters for other liquids, divide the mass in grams by the liquid's density (in g/mL).
  3. What is the density of water? The density of water is approximately 1 gram per milliliter at standard temperature and pressure.
  4. Can I use this conversion for solids? No, the conversion is specific to liquids like water; solids have different densities and need specific calculations.
