Converting milliliters (ml) to grams requires knowing the density of the substance. Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. The conversion depends on the substance's density (mass per unit volume).
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula multiplies the volume (60 ml) by the substance's density to get the equivalent weight in grams.
Details: Different substances have different densities. For example, water has a density of 1 g/mL (so 60 ml = 60 g), while other substances like oil or honey have different densities.
Tips: Enter the density of your substance in g/mL. Common densities: Water (1 g/mL), Olive oil (~0.92 g/mL), Honey (~1.42 g/mL).
Q1: Why can't I directly convert ml to grams without density?
A: Because volume to weight conversion depends on the substance's density. Different substances with the same volume can have different weights.
Q2: What's the conversion for water?
A: For water, 60 ml = 60 g since water's density is 1 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure.
Q3: How do I find the density of a substance?
A: Check product labels, material safety data sheets (MSDS), or reliable chemistry references. Density can also be measured experimentally.
Q4: Does temperature affect the conversion?
A: Yes, density changes with temperature. Most published densities are for room temperature (20-25°C).
Q5: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the exact density of the substance at the given conditions.
