1. What is mL to g Conversion?

Converting milliliters (mL) to grams (g) requires knowing the density of the substance. This calculator specifically calculates the weight in grams for 10 mL of a substance based on its density.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( g \) — Weight in grams
• \( \text{Density} \) — Density of the substance in g/mL

Explanation: The calculation multiplies the volume (10 mL) by the density to get the mass in grams.

3. Importance of Density in Conversion

Details: Density is crucial for accurate conversion as different substances have different densities. Water has a density of 1 g/mL, so 10 mL of water equals 10 g, but other substances will differ.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the density of your substance in g/mL. The density must be greater than 0. Common densities: Water (1 g/mL), Milk (~1.03 g/mL), Honey (~1.42 g/mL).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why can't I just say 10 mL = 10 g?
A: This only works for water. Other substances have different densities, so 10 mL will weigh more or less than 10 g depending on the substance.

Q2: Where can I find density values?
A: Density values can be found in chemistry reference materials, material safety data sheets (MSDS), or online databases for specific substances.

Q3: Does temperature affect the conversion?
A: Yes, density changes with temperature. For precise conversions, use the density at the current temperature.

Q4: Can I use this for any volume?
A: This calculator is specifically for 10 mL. For other volumes, you would need to adjust the formula.

Q5: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The accuracy depends entirely on the accuracy of the density value you provide.
