Can you convert grams to liters?

Answer 1

Normally you cannot convert grams and liters because grams is mass and liters is volume. However, if you know the density of the material, which is given as mass/volume, then the conversion is possible. For example, the density of water under standard conditions is 1 g/ml. Thus, converting 32.3 grams of water to volume would give you 32.3 mls or 0.0323 liters.

Answer 2

Liter is a volume, kilogram is a weight. They are different types of quantities. You might as well ask how to convert pounds per square inch into miles.

The only commonality is that 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram

though liter is a volume, kilogram is a weight, since the commonality between the two is 1 lt of water weighs 1 kg, then liters multiplied by the specific gravity of that fluid will give kgs. lts x sp.gr=kg.

Actually I'm doing ChE homework right now and the question asks to convert from Liters to Kilograms. The actual answer would be that 1 Liter=Specific Gravity of the element given.

Answer 3

Please note that these two measure diferent things, so there can't be a generic conversion.
For aspecific material, you can multiply the number of liters by the density of the material - assuming the density is expressed in kilograms/liter.

Answer 4

There can be no conversion. A gram is a measure of mass. A litre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. Think of a volume of air and a lump of lead with the same volume. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.

Answer 5

To convert grams to liters, you need to know the density of the substance in grams per liter. Once you have the density, you can divide the mass in grams by the density to get the volume in liters.

Answer 6

Multiply by density (in g/ml) and then multiply by 1000.

Answer 7

Divide by density (in g/ml) and then divide by 1000

Answer 8

Grams are measure of mass (or "weight"), and liters are a measure of volume. You can't convert one to the other.

Answer 9

grams are weight, litres are volume,

if it's water 1 kilogram = 1 litre

Answer 10

It depends on the density of solution. with water, at ideal conditions, 1ml is equal to 1g
