1. What is the Milliliters to Grams Conversion?

The conversion from milliliters (mL) to grams (g) depends on the density of the substance. Since milliliters measure volume and grams measure mass, you need the substance's density to convert between them.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( mL \) — Volume in milliliters
• \( Density \) — Substance's density in grams per milliliter (g/mL)

Explanation: The formula multiplies the volume by the substance's density to calculate the mass.

3. Importance of Density in Conversion

Details: Different substances have different densities. For example, water has a density of 1 g/mL, while honey has about 1.42 g/mL. Always use the correct density for accurate conversions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the volume in milliliters and the substance's density in g/mL. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why can't I directly convert mL to g without density?
A: Because different substances have different masses for the same volume. 100 mL of water weighs 100g, but 100 mL of mercury weighs 1356g.

Q2: What's the density of water?
A: Pure water at 4°C has a density of exactly 1 g/mL, which is why 1 mL of water equals 1 gram.

Q3: How do I find a substance's density?
A: You can find density tables online, check product specifications, or measure it yourself by dividing mass by volume.

Q4: Does temperature affect density?
A: Yes, most substances expand when heated (lower density) and contract when cooled (higher density), though water is densest at 4°C.

Q5: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know its density at the current conditions. For gases or substances that change density significantly with conditions, be careful.
