Here are three methods for converting milliliters to grams.

1. 1

   Acquire a sense of mass and weight in grams Weights and measures are often expressed in terms of mass, and one such mass unit is the gram. The mass of an object cannot be altered by compressing it to make it smaller and denser. One gram is roughly the weight of a paper clip, a sugar packet, or a raisin. [1]

   • The gram is a common unit of weight measurement that can be easily accomplished with a simple scale. One's physical mass is subjected to the pull of gravity, which can be quantified as a specific amount. Because there is no gravity in space, your mass (or amount of matter) would remain the same, but you would no longer have any weight.
   • The symbol for the gram is "g."

   Learn to convert between milliliters and fluid ounces An amount of space is measured in milliliters. The volume of one milliliter of water, gold, or air is the same as that of the other two. The volume of an object will change if it is compressed to make it smaller and denser. One milliliter is equal to about twenty drops of water, or one-fifth of a teaspoon. [2]

   • We shorten "milliliter" to "mL" when talking about this volume.

   Find out why it's important to identify the material you're trying to transform. There is no simple formula for converting between these units; they all measure slightly different things. The formula for a given measurement depends on the thing being measured. Weights vary depending on the specific substance being measured; a milliliter of molasses, for instance, will be heavier than the same volume of water.

   Understanding density is essential. The density of an object is proportional to the density of its constituent parts. Even without a scale, density is easy to grasp in everyday life. High density occurs when a lot of matter is packed into a relatively small space, as in the case of a metal ball, making it feel disproportionately heavy for its size. A crumpled ball of paper of the same size can be tossed with the same amount of effort. The paper ball is extremely lightweight. When calculating density, mass is divided by volume. How much weight, in grams, would fit into a given volume, in milliliters? Because of this, it can be used as a bridge between the two units of measurement.

   Just multiply by 0 to get the equivalent in flour. 57 Although there is a wide variety of flours, most bread, whole wheat, and all-purpose flours are fairly consistent in their density. Due to the fact that there is room for error, you should add the flour to your recipe gradually, adjusting the amount used to reflect how the dough or mixture looks as you go. [3]

   We assumed a density of 8 for this measurement. It contains 5 grams per tablespoon, and 1 tbsp is equal to 14 7868 mL

   Increase by 1 for milk 03 To convert milliliters to fluid ounces of milk, add 1 Subtract 3.03 from the kilogram to find its mass. Please note that this standard refers to whole, full-fat milk only. Closer to 1, skim milk 03035; however, in most cooking situations, this variance is negligible. [4]

3. 3

   Multiply by 0 to get the butter equivalent. 911 Performing multiplications involving zero requires a calculator. 9 is probably close enough for most cooking purposes. [5]

4. 4

   Don't do anything to change the water volume. In most situations, including those involving cooking, mathematics, and science, one milliliter of water will weigh one gram unless otherwise specified. The milliliter and gram measurements are always the same, so no conversion is necessary.

   • The definitions of these units allow for such straightforward conversions. As a common and useful substance, water is used as a basis for the definition of many scientific units.
   • If the water's temperature is extremely high or low compared to what would be considered normal, then you will need to use a different conversion.

5. 5

   To substitute other ingredients, use a recipe calculator. The online aqua-calc food converter works for most common foods. To convert between milliliters and cubic centimeters, choose the latter unit, enter the desired volume in milliliters, and then specify the food or ingredient in question.

   Do a density lookup on the material. Density is defined as mass divided by volume. You can use the density information to help you solve a problem in mathematics or chemistry. In any other case, look up or consult a chart containing the density of the substance in question.

   • Check the density of any element using this handy table. (Keep in mind that 1 cm3 is equal to 1 mL.) )
   • Refer to this list for the average calorie content of common foods and drinks. If only the "specific gravity" is given, it is the density of the item in grams per milliliter of liquid at 4 degrees Celsius (39 degrees Fahrenheit), which is usually fairly close for substances at room temperature.
   • To find the density of other chemicals, simply google the chemical name plus "density."

2. 2

   If you need to work with the density in g/mL, here's how. Density is not always expressed in grams per milliliter. Since 1 cm3 is exactly 1 mL, there is no need to convert densities written in g/cm3. Try a density conversion calculator on the web, or do the math yourself, to convert to other units:

   • Density is expressed as kilograms per cubic meter, so multiply this value by zero to get the mass of a cubic meter. 001 to convert to g/mL density
   • Take the density in pounds per U.S. gallon and multiply it by 3. S liter) by 0 The density in grams per milliliter is 120.

3. 3

   To convert milliliters to grams, multiply the volume by the density. Simply multiply the density in grams per milliliter by the substance's volume in milliliters. This yields a result in (g x mL) / mL, but by canceling the upper and lower mL units, we get the simpler unit of g, or grams.

   • Look up the density of ethanol, 0, if you need to convert 10 mL of ethanol to grams, for instance. 789 g/mL [6] In order to convert milliliters to deciliters, multiply 10 by 0. With a density of 789 g/ml, you get a value of 7. 89 grams Having read this, you should know that 10 ml of ethanol has a mass of 7 89 grams
