1. What is mL to Grams with Density Calculator?

Definition: This calculator converts volume in milliliters (mL) to mass in grams (g) using the substance's density.

Purpose: It helps in chemistry, cooking, and other fields where you need to convert between volume and mass measurements.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( m \) — Mass (grams)
• \( \rho \) — Density (grams per milliliter)
• \( V \) — Volume (milliliters)

Explanation: The volume is multiplied by the density to get the mass of the substance.

3. Importance of Density in Conversion

Details: Different substances have different densities, so 1 mL of water (density 1 g/mL) weighs 1 gram, but 1 mL of mercury (density 13.6 g/mL) weighs 13.6 grams.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the volume in milliliters and the substance's density in g/mL. Water has a density of 1 g/mL at 4°C.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why can't I just assume 1 mL = 1 gram?
A: This only works for water. Other substances have different densities, so their mass per mL varies.

Q2: Where can I find density values?
A: Density tables are available in chemistry references, or you can measure it by dividing mass by volume.

Q3: Does temperature affect density?
A: Yes, especially for liquids. Most substances expand when heated, decreasing their density.

Q4: Can I use this for gases?
A: Gas densities are typically much lower and vary with pressure and temperature, so this calculator is mainly for liquids and solids.

Q5: How accurate is this conversion?
A: It's as accurate as your density measurement. For precise work, use density values at your specific temperature.
