Grams (g) and milliliters (mL) measure different properties: grams measure weight, while milliliters measure volume. No direct comparison can be made unless the substance's density is known. For instance, 1 gram of water equals 1 milliliter. However, this ratio changes with different substances.

FAQs & Answers

  1. How do you convert grams to milliliters? To convert grams to milliliters, you need to know the substance's density. Use the formula: Volume (mL) = Mass (g) / Density (g/mL).
  2. Is there a universal conversion for grams to milliliters? No, there is no universal conversion because it varies based on the density of the substance being measured.
  3. What is the density of water? The density of water is approximately 1 g/mL, meaning that 1 gram of water equals 1 milliliter.
  4. Can grams and milliliters be used interchangeably? No, grams measure weight and milliliters measure volume. They can only be compared when the density of the material is known.
