How much is 9 mg liquid in ml?

You can not directly equate mass (mg) and volume (ml) without knowing the density of the substance being measured. For instance 9mg of liquid mercury would occupy a much smaller volume than 9 mg of water.


What is 10 CC in kilogram?

A cc is a measure of volume, a kg is a measure of mass and it is not possible to convert one into the other. For example, 10 cc of water will have a much smaller mass than 10 cc of lead.


How many milliliters are in 1000 milligrams?

If you take 1000 milligrams of distilled water at 0 degrees centigrade, it will measure exactly 1 milliliter. Likewise, 1 kilogram of distilled water at 0 degrees centigrade is exactly 1 liter. However, for other substances, the answer will differ. It depends on the volume of the substance that weighs 1000 mg. For example, 1000 mg of lead (Pb) is far smaller in volume than 1000 mg of water (H2O), which is far smaller in volume of 1000 mg of gaseous Oxygen (O2). ML is milliliters - a volume. mg is milligrams - a weight. 1000 milliliters = 1 liter. 1000 milligrams = 1 gram.


How is a liter of water related to a kilogram?

I litre of water weighs I kilogram


What is formula to convert kiloleter to kilogram?

You cannot. A kilolitre is a measure of volume while a kilogram is a measure of mass. The two measure different things and it makes no sense to try to convert from one to the other. For example, a kilolitre of air will have a much smaller mass than a kilolitre of water. Until the middle 1960s, a kilolitre and kilogram were directly related: a millilitre of water at 4 deg C at standard atmospheric presssure had a mass of 1 gram (so that 1 kL = 1 kg). But that definition is no longer used.

How much volume equals one kilogram?

That depends on the substance that the kilogram is made of. A kilogram of air has a large volume. A kilogram of water has a medium volume. A kilogram of lead or stones has a small volume.


Find the volume that a 0.871gram sample of air would occupy if the density of air is 1.29gramsleters?

The density of water, for example is the mass divided by the volume. So if a litre of water weighs a kilogram and the volume is a litre, then the density one kilogram per litre. This is the same as saying 1000 grams per litre, or 1000 grams per 1000 millilitres, or one gram per millilitre since 1000 grams = one kilogram, and 1000 millilitres = 1 litre

What is the volume of one kilogram of mincemeat?

The volume of one kilogram of water is 1 L so at least 1 litre as most of meat is water. However, it will vary depending on the meat. 1 L has a volume of 1000 cm3


How do you find volume if mass is given but density isn't?

You can't. The same mass can have a lot of different volumes, depending on the substance. Examples: A kilogram of stone or lead has a small volume. A kilogram of water has a medium volume. A kilogram of the air inside your house has a large volume.


Will lead occupy a larger volume or will water?

lead and water will occupy the same volume. however the Density of lead is 207.2 g/L (grams per liter) and the Density of H2O is only 18.02 g/L so if you had the same volume of lead and water the lead would be heavier. But if you had the same Weight of both water and lead the water would have a larger volume.
