density is (g/cm^3)
when if you have a volume of mL? If you want to find the mass from density and volume, do you have to convert the volume to liters?
mL is the same as a cm^3
1 gram/ml= 1 gram/cm^3
Yes, mL (milliliters) is equivalent to cm^3 (cubic centimeters). Both mL and cm^3 represent the same volume measurement.
If you have a volume measurement in mL and want to find the mass using density and volume, you do not necessarily need to convert the volume to liters. Density is commonly expressed in g/cm^3, which means the mass of a substance per unit volume in grams divided by the volume in cubic centimeters.
Since 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm^3, you can directly use the given volume in mL and the density in g/cm^3 to calculate the mass. For example, if the density is 2 g/cm^3 and the volume is 50 mL, you can simply multiply the density by the volume:
Mass = Density x Volume
Mass = 2 g/cm^3 x 50 mL
The resulting mass will be in grams.
However, if the density is given in a different unit or if you prefer to work with liters instead of milliliters, you would need to convert the volume accordingly. To convert mL to liters, you divide the volume in mL by 1000 (since there are 1000 mL in 1 L). Then, you can proceed with the calculation using the converted volume in liters and the given density in g/cm^3.
