Grams to Milliliters Converter
Milliliters (mL):
Usage Instructions:
Objective: Convert grams to milliliters based on the density of the substance.
Steps:
- Enter Grams: Input the mass in grams.
- Enter Density: Input the substance density in g/mL (common for water is 1 g/mL).
- Click "Convert to Milliliters": Press the button to calculate the volume in mL.
- View the Result: The converted volume in milliliters will be displayed in the result box.
Note: The density value is essential for accurate conversion.
To convert grams (g) to milliliters (mL), you need to know the density of the substance you’re converting. Grams measure mass, while milliliters measure volume, and the relationship between them depends on the substance’s density. For water and similar liquids, 1 gram equals 1 milliliter because the density of water is 1 gram per milliliter.
General Formula
The formula to convert grams to milliliters is:
Milliliters (mL) = Grams (g) ÷ Density (g/mL)
- Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance, typically in grams per milliliter (g/mL).
Example Conversion: Water
Since the density of water is 1 g/mL, converting grams to milliliters for water is straightforward:
For water: 1 g = 1 mL
Example Conversions for Water:
Grams (g) | Formula | Milliliters (mL) |
---|---|---|
1 g | 1 ÷ 1 | 1 mL |
50 g | 50 ÷ 1 | 50 mL |
100 g | 100 ÷ 1 | 100 mL |
250 g | 250 ÷ 1 | 250 mL |
Example Conversion: Substance with a Different Density
For other substances, the density will vary. For example, the density of olive oil is about 0.92 g/mL.
Conversion Example for Olive Oil:
- Grams: 100 g
- Density: 0.92 g/mL
- Formula: 100 ÷ 0.92 = 108.7 mL
Example Table for Olive Oil:
Grams (g) | Formula | Milliliters (mL) |
---|---|---|
100 g | 100 ÷ 0.92 | 108.7 mL |
200 g | 200 ÷ 0.92 | 217.4 mL |
500 g | 500 ÷ 0.92 | 543.5 mL |
Practical Uses
- Cooking and Baking: Converting between grams and milliliters for different ingredients.
- Chemistry and Science: Understanding the mass-to-volume relationship for various liquids and substances.
- Everyday Measurements: Knowing how to convert for common substances like milk, oil, or other liquids.
Summary
To convert grams to milliliters, divide the mass (in grams) 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 the density.
