Converting grams to milliliters requires knowing the substance's density since different substances have different densities. This calculator converts 150 grams to milliliters based on the provided density.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the mass (in grams) by the density (in g/ml) to get the volume in milliliters.
Details: Density is crucial for accurate conversion between mass and volume. Different substances with the same mass can occupy different volumes due to varying densities.
Tips: Enter the density of your substance in g/ml. Common densities include water (1 g/ml), milk (~1.03 g/ml), and cooking oil (~0.92 g/ml).
Q1: Why can't I directly convert grams to ml without density?
A: Grams measure mass while milliliters measure volume. The conversion requires density which relates mass to volume.
Q2: Where can I find density values for common substances?
A: Density tables are available online or in chemistry references. For precise measurements, consult material specifications.
Q3: Is this conversion temperature dependent?
A: Yes, density changes with temperature. Use density values measured at the same temperature as your application.
Q4: Can I use this for any substance?
A: This works for any substance as long as you know its density. For mixtures, you may need to calculate an effective density.
Q5: How accurate is this conversion?
A: Accuracy depends on the precision of your density value. For most practical purposes, 2-4 decimal places in density is sufficient.
