1. What is the mL to g Conversion?

The mL to g conversion calculates mass (grams) from volume (milliliters) using the substance's density. This conversion is essential in chemistry, cooking, and various scientific applications where precise measurements are required.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula multiplies the volume by the substance's density to convert between volume and mass units.

3. Importance of Density in Conversion

Details: Density is crucial because different substances have different masses for the same volume. For example, 1 mL of water weighs 1 g (density = 1 g/mL), while 1 mL of mercury weighs 13.6 g (density = 13.6 g/mL).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter volume in milliliters and the substance's density in g/mL. Common densities: Water = 1 g/mL, Milk ≈ 1.03 g/mL, Olive oil ≈ 0.92 g/mL.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is 1 mL always equal to 1 g?
A: No, this is only true for water at standard temperature and pressure. Other substances have different densities.

Q2: How do I find a substance's density?
A: Density can be found in reference materials, product specifications, or measured by dividing mass by volume.

Q3: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the correct density for that specific substance under your measurement conditions.

Q4: Does temperature affect the conversion?
A: Yes, density changes with temperature. For precise work, use density values measured at your working temperature.

Q5: What about very dense materials?
A: The same formula applies regardless of density. Just be sure to use the correct density value for your material.
