ML to Grams Calculator

The conversion between milliliters (ml) and grams (g) is crucial in fields such as cooking, chemistry, and manufacturing. Milliliters measure volume, grams measure weight, and the conversion depends on the density of the substance. For example, water has a density of 1 g/ml, so 1 ml of water weighs exactly 1 gram. For other liquids and substances, the density varies, so conversion is needed.

Formula

The formula for converting milliliters to grams is:

Weight (g) = Volume (ml) × Density (g/ml)

• Volume: The number of milliliters of the substance.
• Density: The mass per unit volume of the substance, usually in grams per milliliter (g/ml).

Example Calculation

If you have 150 ml of olive oil with a density of 0.92 g/ml, the calculation is:

Weight (g) = 150 × 0.92 = 138 g

Importance and Applications

• Cooking and Baking: Recipes often require conversion between volume and weight, especially for liquids like milk, oil, or syrup.
• Chemistry: Precise measurements in laboratory experiments require converting liquid volume to corresponding weight based on density.
• Manufacturing: In industries such as pharmaceuticals or cosmetics, accurate measurement is essential when converting liquid volume to product weight.

FAQ

Is 1 ml always equal to 1 gram?

No, only substances with a density of 1 g/ml, such as water, have this property. For other substances, the conversion depends on their density.

How do I find the density of a substance?

Density values can usually be found in reference tables or calculated experimentally by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.

Can this calculator be used for solids?

It is mainly for liquids, but if the density is known, it can also be used for powders or granules.

This calculator helps convert the volume of various liquids or substances to weight, making it a valuable tool in cooking, science, and industry.
