Converting milliliters (ml) to grams (g) is more difficult than just adding zeros to the value, since you need to convert volume units - millimeters - to mass units - grams. This means that each substance will have its own formula for conversion, but all of them will not require knowledge of mathematics more complicated than multiplication. Such transformations are usually used to transfer recipes from one measurement system to another, or to solve chemical problems.

Steps

1 Quick Translation for Culinary Ingredients

1. 1 Do nothing to convert the value of the volume of water.  One milliliter of water has a mass of one gram in a normal situation, including culinary recipes and mathematical and scientific problems (unless otherwise specified). There is no need to resort to calculations: the values \u200b\u200bin millimeters and grams are always the same.
   • Such a simple transformation is not a coincidence, but the result of how these measures are defined. Many scientific units of measurement were determined using water, because water is a common and useful substance.
   • The only case when you will need to use a different formula is if the water turns out to be much hotter or colder than possible in everyday life.
2. 2 To make the conversion for milk, multiply by 1.03.   Multiply the value in ml for milk by 1.03 to get its mass (or weight) in grams. This formula is suitable for fat milk. For low fat, the coefficient is closer to 1.035, but this is not important for most recipes.
3. 3 To make the conversion for oil, multiply by 0.911.   If you do not have a calculator, for most recipes it will be enough to multiply by 0.9.
4. 4 To convert for flour, multiply by 0.57.   There are many different types of flour, but most varieties - general purpose flour, whole grain flour or baking flour - have approximately the same density. Since there are many varieties, add a little bit of flour to the dish, using more or less, depending on how the dough or mixture looks.
   • These measurements were carried out at a density of 8.5 grams per tablespoon, and the volume of one tablespoon is 14.7868 ml.
5. 5 Use the online calculator for ingredients. Most types of products are in. A milliliter is the same as a cubic centimeter, so select the “cubic centimeter” option, enter the volume in milliliters, and then the type of product or ingredient whose weight you want to find.

2 parsing the basics

1. 1 Deal with milliliters and volume.  Milliliters - units volume, or occupied space. One milliliter of water, one milliliter of gold, one milliliter of air will occupy the same space. If you break an object to make it smaller and denser, it’s will change  its volume. About twenty drops of water or 1/5 teaspoon occupy a volume of one milliliter.
   • Milliliter is reduced to ml.
2. 2 Understand grams and mass.  Gram - unit masses  or amount of substance. If you break an object to make it smaller and denser, it’s won't change  its mass. A paper clip, a bag of sugar or zest weigh one gram each.
   • A gram is often used as a unit of weight and can be measured using scales in everyday situations. Weight is the value of the force of gravity acting on the mass. If you went into space, you would still have the same mass (amount of substance), but you would not have weight, since there is no gravity.
   • Gram reduced to g.
3. 3 Understand why you need to know for what substance you are translating the meaning.  Since units measure different things, there is no quick translation formula between them. You will need to find the formula depending on the measurement object. For example, molasses in a milliliter container will not have the same weight as water occupying a container of the same volume.
4. 4 Get to know the density.  Density indicates how strongly a substance in an object is grouped together. We can distinguish density in everyday life without even measuring it. If you raise a metal ball, you will be surprised how much it weighs for its size. This is due to the fact that he has a high density. A large amount of substance is grouped in a small space. If you pick up a ball of paper of the same size, you can easily drop it. A paper ball has a low density. Density is measured in units of mass per unit volume. For example, how much masses  in grams is placed in one milliliter volume. Therefore, it can be used to convert between two units.

3 We calculate the translation formula yourself

1. 1 Try to find the density of the substance. As described above, density is the ratio of mass to unit volume. If you are solving a problem in chemistry or mathematics, this can help you find out the density of a substance. In other cases, look for the density of the substance online or in the table.
   • Use to see the density of any pure element. (note that 1 cm 3 \u003d 1 milliliter).
   • Use to find out the density for many foods and drinks. For items that have a “specific gravity” value, this number will be equal to the density in g / ml at 4ºC (39ºF), and it will be pretty close to the density of the substance at room temperature.
   • For other substances, enter the name and the word "density" in the search engine.
2. 2 Convert density to g / ml, if necessary.  Density is sometimes given in units other than g / ml. If the density is written in g / cm 3, you do not need to make any changes, since cm 3 is exactly equal to 1 ml. For other units, try using or do the calculations yourself:
   • Multiply the density in kg / m 3 (kilogram per cubic meter) by 0.001 to get the density in g / ml.
   • Multiply the density in lb / gallon (pounds per US gallon) by 0.120 to get the density in g / ml.
3. 3 Multiply volume in milliliters by density.  Multiply the volume of your substance in ml by its density in g / ml. The answer will be in (g x ml) / ml. But you can cut the ml on top and bottom of the fraction, and you have g or grams left.
   • For example, let's convert 10 ml of ethanol to grams. We find the density of ethanol: 0.789 g / ml. Multiply 10 ml by 0.789 g / ml and get 7.89 grams. Now we know that 10 ml of ethanol weigh 7.89 grams.

• To convert grams to milliliters, divide grams by density instead of multiplication.
• The density of water is 1 g / ml. If the density of the substance is more than 1g / ml, then it is more dense than pure water and will sink to the bottom. If the density of the substance is less than 1 g / ml, then it will pop up, since it is less dense than water.

Warnings

• Items can expand and contract if you change the temperature, especially if they melt, freeze and the like. However, if you know the state of the substance (for example, solid or liquid), and you work in normal everyday conditions, you can use the "usual" density.

We know from arithmetic that 1 g is a multiple unit of 1 kg, that is, a thousandth of a kilogram. And when it is necessary to find out how many grams are in a kilogram, we multiply the number representing kilograms by a thousand and get:
  1 kg x 1000 \u003d 1000 g, or 1 kg \u003d 103 g.

So, a milligram is also a thousandth of a quantity called a gram.

And the problem is solved similarly, when you need to find out how many milligrams are in it.
  We assign three zeros to the figure that indicates the amount of g.

1 g x 1000 \u003d 1000 mg, or 1 g \u003d 103 mg. Here is such a simple answer to the question - in 1 gram how many mg.

Putting knowledge into practice

Life constantly confronts us with a situation when we have to solve such arithmetic problems. Most often, this occurs when taking medication.

For example, if the instructions for use say that more than 0.2 g of the drug cannot be consumed per day, and the weight on the tablets in the blister is 25 mg, then you need to find out how many tablets can be used.

Solution algorithm: 0.2 g x1000 \u003d 200 mg, 200 mg: 25 mg \u003d 8 tablets.

But the reverse translation from milligrams to grams is also often found, especially when cooking or for chemical solutions for household purposes.

We remember that if 1 g \u003d 103 mg, then 1 mg \u003d 10-3 g or 1 mg \u003d 0.001 g.
  Suppose, by the condition of the recipe, we need to add 300 mg of granulated sugar and 800 mg of salt somewhere, and we measure only g.

International Unit (ME)  - in pharmacology, this is a unit of measurement of the amount of a substance based on biological activity. It is used for vitamins, hormones, certain drugs, vaccines, blood constituents and similar biologically active substances.

How many milligrams are in grams?

Despite its name, ME is not part of the international SI measurement system.

The exact definition of one ME differs for different substances and is established by international agreement. The Biological Standardization Committee of the World Health Organization provides reference blanks for certain substances, (optionally) sets the number of units of ME contained in them, and defines biological procedures for comparing other blanks with reference ones. The aim of such procedures is to ensure that different preforms having the same biological activity contain an equal number of units of ME.

For some substances, the mass equivalents of one IU were established over time, and the measurement in these units was officially abandoned. However, the ME unit can still remain in widespread use due to convenience. For example, vitamin E exists in eight different forms, distinguished by their biological activity. Instead of accurately indicating the type and weight of the vitamin in the workpiece, it is sometimes convenient to simply indicate its amount in ME.

Wikipedia

International Unit (ME) - internationally agreed standards necessary for comparing the contents of various test biological compounds based on their activity.

If it is impossible to clean by chemical methods, the substance is analyzed by biological methods, and a stable standard solution is used for comparison. Serum standards are stored at the State Serum Institute (Copenhagen, Denmark), the National Institute for Medical Research (Mill Hill, UK) and the World Health Organization (WHO) (Geneva, Switzerland).

International unit  set in the form of a certain amount of a standard solution (for example, one IU of tetanus antitoxin \u003d 0.1547 mg of a standard solution stored in Copenhagen).

5 milligrams - how much?

What is the difference between 5 mg and 5 ml?

People quite often confuse two completely different concepts: milliliter and milligram. Some people think it's the same thing. Therefore, let's understand.

First, you need to determine which dosage form  in front of us.

Solids are dosed by weight (weighed), and liquids - by volume (measured).

In the first case, the unit of measure is gram \\ milligram \\ micrograms, and in the second - liter \\ milliliter.

Dosing by weight

Weight designations :

1.0 - 1 g (grams)

0.001 - 1 mg (milligrams)

0.000001 - 1 mcg (micrograms)

Measuringweights, weights, scales (according to the principle of weighing there are: spring, lever, manual, plate and others).

Measuring instruments for the consumer:in this case, the dosage of the drug prescribed by the doctor will be the measurement measure. In more detail about dosages we spoke in article.

Volume dispensing

Volume Designation:

1 ml - 1 milliliter

1 liter - 1 liter

Measuringmanufacturer tools:  volumetric and pharmacy pipettes, volumetric flasks, cylinders, beakers, burettes.

Consumer measuring instruments: caps, pipettes, syringes, cups, measuring spoons.

Fix:

What does the designation mean? 1,0 ?

Answer: This is the mass of a substance weighing in 1 gram.

Clarification: If we are talking about the volume of the dosage form, then next will be the designation - ml, that is 1.0 ml  (or simply 1 ml).

How to calculate the right amount of drops?

The custom unit for measuring volume is a drop.

In 1 gram, how many milligrams?

This is an inaccurate indicator for calculations, because the volume of a drop depends on the physical properties of the dosed liquid.

For comparison: the volume of 1 drop of an alcoholic solution is on average 0.02 ml, while in an aqueous solution it can range from 0.03 to 0.05 ml.

Pharmacists and doctors decided together to designate a standard measure for this unit of measure. It is believed that the volume of 1 drop is 0.05 ml.

When dosing of a drug in drops is prescribed, it is understood that the volume of one drop is 0.05 ml. If you have a 1 ml medical syringe at home, then you can easily determine the right amount of medicine: 2 drops - 0.1 ml, 3 drops - 0.15 ml, 5 drops - 0.25 ml.

Spoons  also are an inaccurate measuring device for determining the volume of the dosage form. For them, the conventions of volume are also accepted.

Reminder for dispensing liquid dosage forms:

1 cap (drop) \u003d 0.05 ml

2 cap. \u003d 0.1 ml (measured with a syringe, volume 1 ml)

20 cap. (pipette) \u003d 1 ml

1 tsp (teaspoon) \u003d 5 ml

1 dl (dessert or baby spoon) \u003d 10 ml

1 tbsp (tablespoon) \u003d 15 ml

1 tbsp. (glass) \u003d 200 ml on average (glasses come in different capacities: from 110 to 320 ml)

In one of the following issues, you will learn how to determine the content of the active substance in the dosage form, and how to calculate single / daily doses of the drug.

The quick answer: in 1 g - 1000 mg.

Whatever you say, we tend to forget some information from the school course, especially if we do not encounter it in any way throughout our lives. For example, do you remember how many milligrams are contained in 1 gram?

How many milligrams are in one gram?

Well, if you remember, there are people who have forgotten this information. We will not blame them - a person is not able to store in his head all the data that he once received. But we will answer the question.

A milligram is a unit of mass in the international SI system. A milligram is one thousandth of a gram (or one millionth of a kilogram). It turns out that 1 g of the substance contains 1000 mg. 1 milligram, in turn, contains 0.001 g of substance.

Easy to remember?

Quite. However, in practice, we often encounter such cases that often lead us into a stupor. A simple example: you need to take a pill. On the package it is written that the weight of each tablet is 0.25 g, while 750 mg should be taken. Since we already know that one gram contains a thousand milligrams, we simply translate the quantities. So, 0.25 g is 250 mg. We divide the prescribed 750 mg by 250 mg and get the number 3. Three - this is exactly how many tablets you need to take.

Of course, you can translate everything back. 750 mg is 0.75 g. The tablet weighs 0.25 g. Divide 0.75 g by 0.25 g and get the same number - 3. As you can see, everything is quite easy and simple, but if you have any questions on this topic, you can ask them to us using the comments section.

When working with small quantities of a substance, a mass unit such as milligram (mg) is often used. A milligram is a thousandth of a gram. that is, one gram contains one thousand milligrams. In order to convert grams to milligrams, you don’t even need a calculator - rather basic knowledge in arithmetic.

Instruction manual

1.   In order to convert grams to milligrams, multiply the number of grams by 1000. That is, use the following primitive formula: Kmg \u003d Kg * 1000, where Kmg is the number of milligrams, Kg is the number of grams. So, say, the weight of one tablet of activated carbon is 0.25 grams. Consequently, its mass, expressed in milligrams, will be: 0.25 * 1000 \u003d 250 (mg).

2.   If the number of grams is an integer, then to translate the grams into milligrams, primitively assign three zeros to it on the right. Let's say one tablet of ascorbic acid with glucose weighs 1 gram. So, its mass in milligrams will be: 1,000.

3.   If the number of grams is expressed as a decimal fraction, then move the decimal point three digits to the right. Let's say the table of contents of glucose in one tablet of ascorbic acid with glucose is 0.887 grams. Consequently, in milligrams, the mass of glucose will be 887 mg.

4.   If the decimal point is less than 3 digits, add the missing characters with zeros. So, say, the table of contents of ascorbic acid in one tablet of ascorbic acid with glucose is 0.1 gram. In milligrams it will be - 100 mg (according to the rule, it turns out 0100 mg, but insignificant zeros on the left are discarded) ..

5. If all the initial data is given in grams, and the total must be presented in milligrams, then all intermediate calculations are carried out in grams, and milligrams translate only the result of the calculations. So, say, in one tablet of allohol contains: - dry bile - 0.08 g, - dried garlic - 0.04 g, - nettle leaves - 0.005 g, - activated carbon - 0.025 g. In order to calculate: how many milligrams of energetic substances are contained in one tablet of allochol, add the masses of all components expressed in grams, and translate the total into milligrams: 0.08 + 0.04 + 0.005 + 0.025 \u003d 0.15 (g) .0.15 * 1000 \u003d 150 (mg).

Gram  Is a unit of mass belonging to a system of metric measures. Gram  is one of the basic units of the system of unconditional measures of the GHS (centimeter, gram, second) - widely used before the adoption of the international measurement system (SI). It is designated as g or g.

How many milligrams will there be in one milliliter?

Multiple unit of mass kilogram  is one of the basic units of SI, indicated by kg or kg.

Instruction manual

1. Gram  equal to the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at a temperature of its maximum density (4 ° C). As a measure of body weight, a gram is a derived unit in a system of metric measures. It is one thousandth of the core unit of mass - kilogram  but. A kilogram was determined (with an accuracy of 0.2%) as the mass of one cubic decimeter (0.001 cubic meters) of water at the temperature of its highest density. Currently, to determine the mass kilogram  and the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Paris stores the standard kilogram  and - a cylinder about 39 mm high, made of platinum-iridium alloy in 1889.

2. Gram  equal to one thousandth kilogram  and (1 g \u003d 0.001 kg), therefore, to translate the known body weight, which is given in grams, you need to multiply it by 1000.

Note!
  The conversion of grams to milligrams is used mainly in calculations related to the preparation of drugs and their dosage. When calculating, be very careful - each mistake of one decimal place will lead to a ten-fold error.

In order to perform some actions with these units of measurement, it is necessary to understand their mathematical and physical essence, be able to apply the simplest formulas and use tables.

We offer to go the whole way of calculating the mass with us and finally find out how many grams are in a milliliter and vice versa.

Concepts of Mass Units

What is gram? This is a unit of mass equal to a thousandth of a kilogram. In a chain of units of measurement of body weight, it looks like this: 1 milligram → 1 gram → 1 kilogram → 1 centner → 1 ton.

Each subsequent unit of measure in the metric system is 1000 times larger than the previous one.

What is a milliliter? This is a volume unit named after the manufacturer of glass containers by the name Liter.

1 milliliter (1 cube) → 1 liter → 1 cube.

Each subsequent unit of measurement is 1000 times larger. A cube with an edge of 1 cm is a model of 1 cm 3 \u003d 1 ml, 1 dm 3 \u003d 1 l, 1 m 3 \u003d 1 cube.

The volume of liquids is measured in milliliters, liters. But in cooking, bulk products and liquids are often used, the volume of which is conveniently measured with liquid containers. The term cube is used in medicine at a dosage of injections.

How many grams per milliliter: formulas to help

To make the problem clear - how many grams per milliliter - you need to turn to the concept of the density of a substance. All substances in nature have different densities.

This value is denoted by the letter p. It is equal to the ratio of unit mass to unit volume:

Note: in everyday life we \u200b\u200bfind mass using weights. But in physics, weight and mass are not the same thing.

Weight is the force with which an object presses on a support; it depends on the force of gravity. Mass is the amount of matter.

If the force of gravity changes (for example, on the Moon, in space - weightlessness), then the mass will remain the same, and the weight will change. Therefore, the mass per unit volume for different substances is not the same.

Why approximately? Because any measurements have inaccuracies (errors).

Conclusion: 1g of water is placed in 1ml of volume. Accordingly, 100 grams of water is 100 milliliters. For all other substances, this equality will not be fair.

For example, if you fill a glass with sugar, the volume will be 250 ml, but the mass (use the scales) is no longer 250 g, but only 200 g. 1 glass of water, 1 glass of milk, 1 glass of sugar, 1 glass of sunflower oil - they will all be have a different mass.

Conclusion: 1g of any substance, except water, occupies a volume not equal to 1ml (the exception is substances with the same density as that of water).

Each time, you do not have to calculate the values \u200b\u200bif you use the weight measurement table.

All data in the table are approximate. In addition, the weight of products and other substances depends on the moisture content of the product, possible compaction during the measurement.

Volume depends on temperature. All data are taken at room temperature.

The volume of one tablespoon is approximately equal to 14.8 ml. Bulk products in a spoon are taken with a mountain. The accuracy of the measurement data is enough for recipes.

If you have to measure with a faceted glass, then it contains 250 ml, and 200 ml per rim. The weight of an empty glass is 173 g.

To calculate products that are not included in the tables, you can use the calculator on the Internet by choosing the option centimeter cubic (milliliter) and the product whose weight you need to look for.

It’s good to have a kitchen scale. Then you can weigh the container separately, and then together with the product, subtracting the tare, we get the mass of the product.

1 faceted glass (250 ml) by volume is equal to 18 tablespoons and 65 teaspoons (for liquids).

Interestingly, there are ancient units of volume measurement, which almost no one remembers. Cubic tip \u003d 87.824 ml, cubic foot \u003d 28.3168 L, cubic inch \u003d 16.3870 ml, Bucket \u003d 12.2994 L, Damask \u003d 1/10 bucket \u003d 1.22994 L, cup \u003d 1/100 bucket \u003d 122.994 ml , for bulk products used a quarter \u003d 0.209909 m 3, four \u003d 0.262387 m 3, garz \u003d 3.27984 l.

Need to convert from grams to milliliters? Know what you are translating!

To convert from grams to milliliters or vice versa, you need to know the substance for which you think this. Not all substances in the world were created the same, some of them are lighter than others. For example, corn syrup is heavy, 1 ml of syrup weighs about 1.5 grams. And the flour is light, 1 ml of flour weighs only 0.4 grams. But there are substances that are even heavier than corn syrup and lighter than flour.

Does this mean that the conversion from grams to milliliters is too complicated? No, it doesn’t! Read on.

What is the most common substance? Water. Everything is easy for water.

Water is perhaps the most commonly used substance in humans. Why is the water beautiful? For example, the fact that for water the conversion from grams to milliliters is elementary. One gram of pure water is exactly one milliliter. Great, right?

There is one more good news. Many of the fluids we use every day are based on water and are very similar to water in density. If high accuracy is not important to us, we can apply the same rule of transfer from grams to milliliters as for water. For example, 1 ml of sea water weighs 1.02 grams. One ml of milk weighs 1.03 grams. Not exactly one gram, but how important is such a small difference to you?

Please do not forget, this table is absolutely correct only for clean water. If your substance is close to water by properties, for example, it is an aqueous solution, the table may also be applicable, but the result will already be only approximate. The more the density of a substance differs from water, the less applicable the table.
