The conversion between milligrams (mg) and milliliters (ml) depends on the density of the substance. This calculator helps convert mass (mg) to volume (ml) when you know the density of the substance.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the mass by the density to get the equivalent volume.
Details: Density is crucial for accurate conversion as different substances have different densities. Water has a density of 1000 mg/ml (1 g/ml), but other substances vary.
Tips: Enter the mass in milligrams and the substance's density in mg/ml. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: Why can't I directly convert mg to ml without density?
A: Because mg measures mass while ml measures volume. The conversion requires knowing how much mass is in each milliliter of the substance.
Q2: What's the density of water?
A: Pure water at standard conditions has a density of 1000 mg/ml (or 1 g/ml).
Q3: How do I find the density of a substance?
A: Density can be found in reference materials, product specifications, or by measuring mass and volume of a sample.
Q4: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the correct density at the given conditions (temperature and pressure affect density).
Q5: Why is my result so small/large?
A: The result depends on the density. Substances with high density (many mg per ml) will give smaller volumes, while low density substances give larger volumes.
