Grams to mL Converter

Grams and milliliters are commonly used units in both cooking and science. While grams measure weight, milliliters measure volume. This means the conversion between the two isn't straightforward and varies depending on the substance. For example, converting grams of sugar to milliliters will yield a different result than converting grams of water to milliliters because their densities are different. Our converter takes the guesswork out of the process by factoring in these differences.

Grams to Ml Converter Formula

The formula to convert g to ml depends on the density of the substance being converted. The basic formula is:

Milliliters = Grams ​/ Density (g/mL) 

Where:

• Grams is the weight of the substance.
• Density is the density of the substance, typically expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL).

Example:

• If you have 50 grams of water, and the density of water is 1 g/mL:

Milliliters = 50 grams / 1 g/mL = 50 mL

• For 50 grams of honey, with a density of about 1.42 g/mL:

Milliliters = 50 grams / 1.42 g/mL = 35.21 mL

Common Conversions

1. Water

   • 1 gram = 1 milliliter
   • 100 grams = 100 milliliters
   • 250 grams = 250 milliliters

2. Milk

   • 1 gram ≈ 0.97 milliliters
   • 100 grams ≈ 97 milliliters
   • 250 grams ≈ 242 milliliters

3. Honey

   • 1 gram ≈ 0.70 milliliters
   • 100 grams ≈ 70 milliliters
   • 250 grams ≈ 175 milliliters

4. Olive Oil

   • 1 gram ≈ 1.09 milliliters
   • 100 grams ≈ 109 milliliters
   • 250 grams ≈ 272 milliliters
