Does not convert; milligrams (mg) and grams (g) are measures of weight or mass and mL (milliliters) is a measure of volume.
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.
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.
To convert cubic centimeters (cc) to milligrams (mg), you need to know the density of the substance in question, as mg is a measure of mass while cc is a measure of volume. For water, 1 cc is approximately equal to 1000 mg, so 0.15 cc of water would be about 150 mg. However, for other substances, the conversion will vary based on their density.
