1. What is the Grams to Liters Formula?

The grams to liters conversion formula calculates the volume (in liters) of a substance based on its mass (in grams) and density (in grams per liter). This conversion is essential in chemistry, cooking, and various scientific applications.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( L \) — Volume in liters
• \( g \) — Mass in grams
• \( \rho \) — Density in grams per liter (g/L)

Explanation: The formula converts mass to volume using the substance's density as the conversion factor.

3. Importance of Density in Conversion

Details: Density is crucial because different substances have different masses per unit volume. For example, 1 liter of water weighs 1000 grams (density = 1000 g/L), while 1 liter of mercury weighs 13534 grams.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter mass in grams and density in g/L. Both values must be positive numbers. For water at 4°C, use density = 1000 g/L.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the substance's density at the given temperature and pressure.

Q2: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The accuracy depends on the precision of your mass and density measurements.

Q3: What's the density of common substances?
A: Water = 1000 g/L, Olive oil ≈ 920 g/L, Ethanol ≈ 789 g/L, Mercury = 13534 g/L.

Q4: Does temperature affect the conversion?
A: Yes, density changes with temperature. Use density values at your working temperature.

Q5: How do I convert liters back to grams?
A: Use the inverse formula: \( g = L \times \rho \).
