Grams to Milliliters Formula:
From: | To: |
The conversion from grams to milliliters depends on the density of the substance. Since different substances have different densities, this calculator provides accurate conversions when you know the density of your material.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts mass (grams) to volume (milliliters) by dividing by the substance's density.
Details: Density is crucial because 1 gram of different substances occupies different volumes. For example, 1g of water = 1ml (density 1g/ml), but 1g of honey ≈ 0.7ml (density ≈1.42g/ml).
Tips: Enter the mass in grams and the substance's density in g/ml. Common densities: Water (1g/ml), Milk (~1.03g/ml), Olive oil (~0.92g/ml), Honey (~1.42g/ml).
Q1: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the exact density of the substance at the given temperature.
Q2: Why does temperature matter for density?
A: Most substances expand when heated (lower density) and contract when cooled (higher density).
Q3: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The accuracy depends entirely on the accuracy of the density value you provide.
Q4: Where can I find density values?
A: Chemical reference tables, material safety data sheets (MSDS), or scientific literature provide density values.
Q5: Is this the same as converting grams to milliliters for water?
A: For water at 4°C, yes (1g = 1ml), but for other substances or temperatures, you must use the correct density.
