Grams to Milliliters Formula:
From: | To: |
Grams to milliliters conversion is a way to convert mass (grams) to volume (milliliters) when you know the density of the substance. This is necessary because different substances have different densities.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the mass by the density to get the equivalent volume.
Details: Density is crucial because it varies between substances. For example, water has a density of 1 g/ml, while honey has about 1.42 g/ml. Using the wrong density will give incorrect results.
Tips: Enter the density of your substance in g/ml. Common densities include water (1 g/ml), milk (~1.03 g/ml), flour (~0.59 g/ml), and sugar (~0.85 g/ml).
Q1: Why can't I just convert grams to ml directly?
A: Because grams measure mass while milliliters measure volume. The conversion depends on the substance's density.
Q2: Is 50 grams always equal to 50 ml?
A: Only for water (density = 1 g/ml). For other substances, the volume will be different.
Q3: Where can I find density values?
A: Density tables are available online or in chemistry references. Some products list density on their packaging.
Q4: Does temperature affect density?
A: Yes, especially for liquids. Most densities are given at 20°C (68°F).
Q5: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the exact density at your measurement conditions.
