How to Convert Milliliters to Grams

Understand milliliters and volumes. The milliliter is a unit of measurement for volume , or in other words the amount of space an object occupies. One milliliter of water, one milliliter of gold, or one milliliter of air would take up the same amount of space. If you crush or crush an object to make it smaller and denser, then the volume of the object changes . 1/5 teaspoon (teaspoon) or 20 drops of water will have a volume of about 1 milliliter. ^[4]

• Milliliter is abbreviated as mL .

Understand grams and mass. The gram is a unit of measurement for mass , i.e. the amount of a substance. The total mass of an object does not change if you crush or cut the object into smaller pieces or squeeze the object into a denser mass. A gram is the approximate mass of a paperclip, a sugar cube, or a grape.

• The gram is a common unit of measurement for weight and can be measured with a scale. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object with mass. If you fly into space, your body mass (the amount of matter) will remain the same but you will lose weight, because in space your body is no longer affected by gravity.
• Gam is abbreviated as g .

Understand why you need to know the substance when converting. Since these units are used to measure different quantities, there is no universal formula for all forms of matter. You need to find a recipe based on the type of material or material you need to convert. For example, 1 mL of distillate will have a different mass than 1 mL of water.

Understanding billions of blocks. Density is the density of matter arranged in an object. We can know how big or small the things commonly encountered in life are without measuring. For example, if you hold an iron ball, you will be surprised at the mass of the ball compared to its size, because the iron ball has a large density, which means there is a lot of matter contained in a space. small. Conversely, if you crumple the paper into a ball the size of an iron ball, you can easily throw it away because the paper has a smaller density than the iron ball. Density is measured in mass per unit volume. That is, how many masses in grams can fit 1 mL in volume . This is also the reason why we can use the density to convert from mL to grams and vice versa.

Find the density of the substance. As mentioned above, density is mass per unit volume. In math or chemistry problems, you may be given the density of the substance. You can also find the densities of substances online or based on the available density tables.

• Use this table to find the mass density of any pure substance. (Note: 1 cm ³ = 1 milliliter.)
• If you can read English, you can refer to this document to find the density of foods and drinks. For those with only “density”, the value stated in the literature is equivalent to the value in g/mL at 4 degrees Celsius and is quite close to the density of the substance at room temperature.
• For other substances, you can type the name of the substance into the word “billionth of mass” into the search engine to get the results.

Convert the mass fraction to g/mL if necessary. Sometimes the density value you see is expressed in units other than g/mL. You don’t need to convert if the unit is g/cm ³ because one cm ³ = 1mL. With other units, you can rely on websites that integrate online units to change units or calculate by yourself in the following way:

• Multiplying the density value by 0.001 will give the value in g/mL if the available unit is kg/m ³ (kilograms per cubic meter).
• Multiply by 0.120 if the known cubic rate is in lb/gallon (pounds per gallon) to get the density in g/mL.
