Is 1 gram equal to 1 milliliter?

[candy terpenes]

I’m a bit confused about grams and milliliters. Does 1 gram of any substance equal 1 milliliter, or does it depend on the material? Can someone clarify this?

Not exactly — 1 gram is equal to 1 milliliter only for water at its maximum density (around 4°C). This is because grams measure mass, while milliliters measure volume.

For other substances, density differs, so 1 gram may occupy more or less than 1 milliliter depending on the material.

Example:

• Water: 1 g ≈ 1 mL
• Olive oil: 1 g ≈ 1.09 mL
• Mercury: 1 g ≈ 0.055 mL

It’s a special case for water, not a universal rule.

No, 1 gram isn’t always equal to 1 milliliter. It depends on the substance’s density. For example, 1 gram of water = 1 milliliter, but this isn’t true for other materials.

1 gram equals 1 milliliter only for water; for other substances, it depends on their density.

 

[winget]

1 gram is not always equal to 1 milliliter. They are different units: grams measure mass, milliliters measure volume. For water (or substances with similar density), 1 gram ≈ 1 milliliter. For other liquids or solids, the conversion depends on density, so it varies by material.

 

[simran]

Not always. 1 gram ≈ 1 milliliter only for water (or substances with the same density as water).

 

[Elijah]

1 gram equals 1 milliliter only for water; for other substances, it varies by density.

 

[MatthewRup]

One gram of water weighs 1000 milliliters under standard conditions, but other substances have different weigh masses based on the level of density.
