Milliliters to Grams Converter
Grams (g):
Usage Instructions:
Objective: Convert milliliters to grams based on the density of the substance.
Steps:
- Enter Milliliters: Input the volume in milliliters.
- Enter Density: Input the substance density in g/mL (common for water is 1 g/mL).
- Click "Convert to Grams": Press the button to calculate the mass in grams.
- View the Result: The converted mass in grams will be displayed in the result box.
Note: The density value is essential for accurate conversion.
To convert milliliters (mL) to grams (g), you need to know the density of the substance you’re converting. Since milliliters measure volume and grams measure mass, the conversion depends on the density of the substance, which is expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL).
General Formula
The formula to convert milliliters to grams is:
Grams (g) = Milliliters (mL) × Density (g/mL)
- Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance (g/mL).
Example Conversion: Water
For water, the density is 1 g/mL, meaning 1 milliliter of water weighs 1 gram. So, the conversion is straightforward:
For water: 1 mL = 1 g
Example Conversions for Water:
| Milliliters (mL) | Formula | Grams (g) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 1 × 1 | 1 g |
| 50 mL | 50 × 1 | 50 g |
| 100 mL | 100 × 1 | 100 g |
| 250 mL | 250 × 1 | 250 g |
Example Conversion: Substance with a Different Density
For other substances, the density will differ. For example, the density of olive oil is about 0.92 g/mL.
Conversion Example for Olive Oil:
- Milliliters: 100 mL
- Density: 0.92 g/mL
- Formula: 100 × 0.92 = 92 g
Example Table for Olive Oil:
| Milliliters (mL) | Formula | Grams (g) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 mL | 100 × 0.92 | 92 g |
| 200 mL | 200 × 0.92 | 184 g |
| 500 mL | 500 × 0.92 | 460 g |
How to Convert mL to g
- Identify the Volume in Milliliters: For example, 150 mL.
- Determine the Density of the Substance: For example, for honey, the density is about 1.42 g/mL.
- Apply the Conversion Formula:
- Multiply the volume (mL) by the density (g/mL).
- For honey:
- Calculation: 150 × 1.42 = 213 g.
Practical Uses
- Cooking: Converting volumes of liquids like milk or oil to mass for precise recipes.
- Science and Chemistry: Calculating the mass of liquids based on their volume and density.
- Health and Diet: Measuring liquid ingredients more accurately by converting between volume and mass.
Summary
To convert milliliters to grams, multiply the volume in milliliters by the density of the substance (in g/mL). For water, this is a 1:1 conversion, but for other substances, the conversion depends on their specific density.
