What is g/cm³ to kg/L Conversion

g/cm³ to kg/L conversion is a unit transformation for density, converting grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) to kilograms per liter (kg/L). This conversion is straightforward because 1 cubic centimeter (cm³) is equivalent to 1 milliliter (mL), and there are 1000 mL in a liter (L). Additionally, 1 gram (g) is 0.001 kilograms (kg). Therefore, the conversion factor is \(1 \, \text{g/cm³} = 1 \, \text{kg/L}\). This is useful in chemistry, engineering, and material science where these units are commonly used for liquids and solids.

For example, a density of 1 g/cm³ converts to 1 kg/L.

How to Convert g/cm³ to kg/L

Conversion Formula: The density in kg/L is calculated as:

\(\rho_{\text{kg/L}} = \rho_{\text{g/cm³}}\)

Where:

  • \(\rho_{\text{kg/L}}\) = Density in kilograms per liter
  • \(\rho_{\text{g/cm³}}\) = Density in grams per cubic centimeter

Example Calculation: For a density of 1.5 g/cm³:

  1. \(\rho_{\text{kg/L}} = 1.5 \, \text{kg/L}\).

Use the form above to input the density in g/cm³, and the calculator will convert it to kg/L.

Density Units and Conversions

The calculator converts between the following density units:

  • Grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³): Base input unit
  • Kilograms per liter (kg/L): 1 g/cm³ = 1 kg/L

Other common conversions include:

  • 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³
  • 1 kg/L = 1000 kg/m³
  • 1 kg/L = 0.0361273 lb/in³

Standard Density Examples

Some standard densities include:

  • Water at 4 °C: \(\rho \approx 1.0000 \, \text{g/cm³} = 1.0000 \, \text{kg/L}\)
  • Gold: \(\rho \approx 19.3200 \, \text{g/cm³} = 19.3200 \, \text{kg/L}\)
  • Air at sea level: \(\rho \approx 0.001225 \, \text{g/cm³} = 0.001225 \, \text{kg/L}\)

Use this calculator to convert these values or your own measurements.

FAQs

How do you convert g/cm³ to kg/L?

To convert g/cm³ to kg/L:

  1. Take the density value in g/cm³.
  2. The value remains the same, as \(1 \, \text{g/cm³} = 1 \, \text{kg/L}\) (since 1 cm³ = 1 mL = 0.001 L, and 1 g = 0.001 kg).

What is the density of water in kg/L if it is 1 g/cm³?

The density is \(1 \, \text{kg/L}\).
