The difference between 100g and 100 mL lies in their measurement: grams (g) measure mass, while milliliters (mL) measure volume. For water or similar liquids, 100g roughly equals 100 mL, but this can vary with different substances.

Questions and answers

  1. What is the main difference between grams and milliliters?

    Grams measure mass (weight) while milliliters measure volume, so they quantify different physical properties.

  2. Can 100 grams equal 100 milliliters?

    Only for water and liquids with a similar density does 100 grams roughly equal 100 milliliters. For other substances, the values differ.

  3. How can I convert grams to milliliters?

    To convert grams to milliliters, you need to know the substance's density since grams measure mass and milliliters measure volume.
