Grams to milliliters conversion requires knowing the density of the substance. Since grams measure mass and milliliters measure volume, density (mass per unit volume) is needed to convert between them.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the mass (50g) by the density to get the equivalent volume in milliliters.
Details: Different substances have different densities. For example, water has a density of 1 g/ml (so 50g = 50ml), while honey has about 1.4 g/ml (so 50g ≈ 35.7ml).
Tips: Enter the density of your substance in g/ml. The density must be greater than 0. For accurate results, use the specific density of your material at the current temperature.
Q1: Why can't I convert grams to ml without density?
A: Grams measure mass while milliliters measure volume. Without knowing how tightly packed the molecules are (density), conversion isn't possible.
Q2: What's the density of water?
A: Pure water at 4°C has a density of exactly 1 g/ml. At room temperature, it's about 0.997 g/ml.
Q3: How do I find the density of my substance?
A: Check material specifications, use a density table, or measure it yourself by dividing mass by volume.
Q4: Does temperature affect density?
A: Yes, most substances expand when heated (lower density) and contract when cooled (higher density).
Q5: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know its density. Works for liquids, powders, and even gases (though gas densities are typically much lower).
