1. What is Ml to Grams Conversion?

Converting milliliters (mL) to grams (g) requires knowing the density of the substance since different substances have different densities. This calculator specifically converts 30 mL to grams based on the substance's density.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

Where:

• \( g \) — Weight in grams
• \( density \) — Density of the substance (g/mL)
• 30 — Volume in milliliters

Explanation: The calculation multiplies the volume (30 mL) by the substance's density to get the equivalent weight in grams.

3. Importance of Density in Conversion

Details: Density is crucial because 30 mL of different substances will weigh different amounts. For example, 30 mL of water weighs 30 g (density = 1 g/mL), while 30 mL of honey weighs about 42 g (density ≈ 1.4 g/mL).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the density of your substance in g/mL. Common densities: Water = 1, Milk ≈ 1.03, Olive oil ≈ 0.92, Honey ≈ 1.4. The density must be greater than 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why can't I directly convert mL to g without density?
A: Because milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. The conversion depends on the substance's density which relates volume to mass.

Q2: Is 30 mL always equal to 30 grams?
A: Only for water and substances with density of 1 g/mL. For most other substances, 30 mL will not equal 30 grams.

Q3: Where can I find density values for common substances?
A: Density tables are available online or in chemistry references. Some substances list density on their packaging.

Q4: Can I use this for any volume?
A: This calculator is specifically for 30 mL. For other volumes, you would need to adjust the calculation.

Q5: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The accuracy depends entirely on the accuracy of the density value you provide. Temperature can also affect density.
