1. What is mL to Grams Conversion?

The conversion between milliliters (mL) and grams (g) depends on the density of the substance. This calculator converts volume in mL to weight in grams using the substance's density.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

Where:

• \( mL \) — Volume in milliliters
• \( 29.5735 \) — Conversion factor (mL per ounce)
• \( 28.3495 \) — Conversion factor (grams per ounce)
• \( Density \) — Density of the substance in g/mL

Explanation: The formula first converts mL to ounces, then ounces to grams, and adjusts for the substance's density.

3. Importance of Density in Conversion

Details: Density is crucial because 1 mL of different substances weighs different amounts. For water, 1 mL ≈ 1 g, but this doesn't hold for other substances.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter volume in mL and the substance's density in g/mL. Common densities: Water (1.0), Milk (~1.03), Honey (~1.42), Olive Oil (~0.92).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is density important in this conversion?
A: Because mass depends on both volume and density. Different substances with the same volume can have different masses.

Q2: What's the density of water?
A: Pure water at 4°C has a density of exactly 1 g/mL, which makes conversions easy (1 mL = 1 g).

Q3: How do I find the density of a substance?
A: You can find density tables online, or calculate it by dividing mass by volume (density = mass/volume).

Q4: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the correct density for that substance at the given temperature.

Q5: Why the conversion through ounces?
A: The formula accounts for the relationship between fluid ounces (volume) and ounces (weight), which are different units.
