ml to Grams Calculator

Well, grams are equal to ml only if the density of the product is equal to 1 gram/cm³ (= 1 kg/l = 1000 kg/m³ = 62.428 lb/cu ft; check this value in other units with our density converter). That's the case when we have water at 4 °C / 39.2 °F:

1 gram = 1 ml (water at 4 °C / 39.2 °F)

Even if the water's temperature is a bit higher – like room temperature (20-25 °C or 68-77 °F) — we can still say that 1 gram equals approximately 1 ml. Have a look at the graph to check how the density of water (and ice) changes with the temperature:

Water, where life came from, is a molecule with unusual properties. For example, thanks to the fact that the density of ice is much smaller than water density, the fish 🐟 in lakes don't freeze in wintertime: the heaviest water at about 4 °C (39 °F) sinks to the bottom. So the temperature close to the bed may be almost the same in winter and summer if the water reservoir is deep enough. This is theorized to have been important when life was first developing and needed to survive somewhere where a change in global temperature would not affect them, like at the bottom of the ocean.

Milliliters are the unit of volume, and grams are the unit of weight, so ml to grams conversion is not a direct calculation like "multiplying or dividing by a constant". First, you need to know the density of the object, and then you can use the transformed density formula:

• volume [ml] = weight [g] / density [g/ml]

  or:

• weight [g] = volume [ml] × density [g/ml]

In our ml to grams calculator, we've implemented many popular cooking ingredients densities. However, it's still possible that you won't find the one you need, as there are thousands of different products, liquids, and chemicals you may want to convert. What can you do in such a case?

1. Find the density of the product for which you want to make a conversion. The easiest way is to type the name of the product and "density" into the search engine of your choice – you'll most likely find it this way.

2. Come back to our ml to grams calculator and, within the list of ingredients, select Custom ingredient — you'll be able to edit the density. Type the product density and the other value you know.

3. There you go! Now, you can convert ml to grams and grams to milliliters for your product.

Now that you know how to convert ml to grams, let's have a look at different applications of ml to grams conversions:

• In medicine, such conversions are usually connected with finding the appropriate paracetamol dose per kg of your weight. Liquid medicine concentration is often shown in mg/mL. Choose the proper unit, and you can still use this ml to grams calculator!

• ml to grams in chemistry: all you need to do, again, is to find the density of your compound or element. Below we present the table with 50 known liquids:

Now that you have worked out the weight or volume of your compound improve your experiments by using our molarity calculator or our mole calculator.
