Grams to milliliters conversion requires knowing the substance's density since different substances have different densities. This calculator converts 100 grams to milliliters based on the provided density.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the mass (100 grams) by the density to get the equivalent volume in milliliters.
Details: Density is crucial because substances with different densities will have different volumes for the same mass. For example, 100 grams of water (density 1 g/ml) equals 100 ml, while 100 grams of honey (density ~1.4 g/ml) equals about 71 ml.
Tips: Enter the density of your substance in g/ml. The density must be greater than 0. For water, use 1 g/ml. For other substances, consult density tables or product specifications.
Q1: Why can't I convert grams to ml without density?
A: Grams measure mass while milliliters measure volume. Without density (which relates mass to volume), the conversion isn't possible.
Q2: What's the density of common substances?
A: Water: 1 g/ml, Milk: ~1.03 g/ml, Olive oil: ~0.92 g/ml, Honey: ~1.4 g/ml, Flour: ~0.57 g/ml.
Q3: Is 100g always equal to 100ml?
A: Only for substances with density of 1 g/ml (like water). For most substances, 100g does not equal 100ml.
Q4: How do I find the density of a substance?
A: Check product labels, material safety data sheets (MSDS), or scientific density tables. You can also measure it yourself if you know the mass and volume.
Q5: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the correct density at your measurement conditions (density can change with temperature).
