Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator converts mass in milligrams (mg) to volume in milliliters (mL) using the substance's density.
Purpose: It helps in chemistry, medicine, and other fields where precise conversions between mass and volume are needed.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The mass in mg is divided by density (converted to mg/mL by multiplying by 1000) to get volume in mL.
Details: Accurate conversions are crucial for medication dosing, chemical preparations, and laboratory work where precise measurements are essential.
Tips: Enter the mass in mg and substance density in g/mL (default 1.0 for water). All values must be > 0.
Q1: Why multiply density by 1000?
A: To convert g/mL to mg/mL (since 1g = 1000mg) for consistent units with the mass input.
Q2: What's the density of water?
A: Pure water has a density of 1.0 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure.
Q3: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the substance's density in g/mL at the given conditions.
Q4: How precise is this calculation?
A: The precision depends on the accuracy of your mass and density measurements.
Q5: What if my density is in different units?
A: Convert your density to g/mL first before using this calculator.
