The mass of 1 mL of a substance depends on its density. For water, given its density of 1 g/mL, 1 mL of water weighs 1 gram. However, different substances will have varying masses based on their densities.
FAQs & Answers
- How does density affect mass? Density determines the mass of an object for a given volume; higher density means more mass in the same volume.
- Is the mass of 1 mL different for all liquids? Yes, different liquids have different densities, thus their masses for the same volume of 1 mL will vary.
- Why is the density of water 1 g/mL? The density of water is 1 g/mL at 4°C, which is a unique property of water that simplifies mass calculations.
