How you convert fifty grams Glycerin to milliliters?

Answer 1

Fair question. We have a missing detail here - density.

Density tells us how much volume something takes up considering its weight. Like water takes roughly 1g per ml, hence a litre of water weighs roughly 1kg.


So. We look up the density of Glycerin (1.261 g/ml).

We need an equation to link them:
V = M/D (volume = mass/density). Does this make sense? Let's check the units with some algebra:

ml = g/(g/ml)


Looks good.


Next check we have the correct units. Density is in g/ml. We have glycerin in grams and we want ml...so those units match up nicely. Good.


So V = 50/1.261 = 39.65ml


Finally, just check your answer makes sense. The density was 1.261g/ml. Meaning 1 ml weighs 1.261g. So you know that you always have more grams than ml.


We have 50g and 39.65ml. Our answer makes intuitive sense and all is good in the world.

Answer 2

This cannot be sensibly answered. A milliliter (mL or ml) is a measure of volume, grams (g), kilograms (kg) and milligrams (mg) are measures of weight or mass.

Answer 3

Does not convert; milligrams (mg) and grams (g) are measures of weight or mass and mL (milliliters) is a measure of volume.

Answer 4

Glycerol's density is 1.26g/ml. 50/1.26 is 39.7ml
