Technically you could use any unit of mass and any unit of volume and the value you'd get would still be density. For solids milliliters are often replaced with cubic centimeters, though in this case they are the same thing. It is not uncommon to express density, especially of a gas, in terms of kilograms per cubic meter.

However, if you use different units, you will arrive at a different number. For example water has a density of about 1 gram per milliliter, which is the same as 1,000 kilograms per cubic meter.

What is the density of 24g?

It is a mistake. Density cannot be measured in grams and any calculations whose answer leads to a density of 24g is incorrect.


How many grams are in 250 milliliters?

It depends on the density of what is being measured. The mass is the volume (250 ml) times the density.


How many grams is equal to 100 milliliters?

Only if you have pure water in mind, then: 100 milliliters of pure water weigh 100 grams. Forget syrup or oil. For that calculations you need the specific weight (density) of the material.


Is density measured in grams?

No. Density is measured in grams per cubic centimeter, sometimes written as grams per milliliter.


Why can density be measured in grams or per cubic centimeters?

Density cannot be measured in grams, not in "per cubic centimetres".


How do you calculate and do density word problems?

density = mass/volume You need to know that mass will be measured in some form of gram, such as grams, milligrams, or kilograms. Volume will typically be measured in milliliters, liters, cubic centimeters, or cubic meters.

How do you convert kilo of syrup with a density of 1.25744 to liters?

1 kilogram = 1000 grams Density = grams/milliliters 1.25744 = 1000 grams/ml = 795.267 milliliters which is... 0.795267 Liters


Can be expressed as grams of solute per milliliters of solvent?

Concentration can be expressed as grams of solute per milliliter of solvent. Density is measured in grams per cubic centimeter that tells a substance's mass per unit volume.


How is convection related to density?

It is related by the grams that are measured by density

How many milliliters are in 200 milligrams?

Only if you have pure water in mind, then: 0.2 milliliters of pure water weigh 0.2 grams or 200 milligrams. Forget syrup or oil. For those calculations you need the specific weight (density) of the material.
