1. What is Density of Water in g/L?

Definition: This calculator converts the density of water from kg/m³ to g/L.

Purpose: It helps scientists, engineers, and students work with water density in different units.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( \rho \) — Density in g/L
• \( \rho_{kg/m³} \) — Density in kg/m³

Explanation: Since 1 kg/m³ equals exactly 1 g/L, the conversion is straightforward.

3. Importance of Water Density

Details: Water density is crucial for fluid mechanics, buoyancy calculations, and various scientific experiments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the density in kg/m³ (default 1000 kg/m³ for pure water at 4°C). The value must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is water density 1000 kg/m³?
A: This is the density of pure water at 4°C, which is the temperature at which water reaches its maximum density.

Q2: Does water density change with temperature?
A: Yes, water density decreases as temperature increases above 4°C or decreases below 4°C.

Q3: What's the density of seawater?
A: Seawater is typically about 1025 kg/m³ (1025 g/L) due to dissolved salts.

Q4: Why use g/L instead of kg/m³?
A: g/L is often more convenient for laboratory measurements where smaller quantities are used.

Q5: How precise is this conversion?
A: The conversion is exact since 1 kg/m³ = 1 g/L by definition.
