Milligrams versus millilitersOne milliliter of water weighs one gram. There are 1000 milligrams in one gram.One milliliter of other substances will weigh more or less, depending upon their densities. A millilter of gasoline, for example, weighs less, and a milliliter of mercury weighs more -- WAY more. (No pun intended.)Milligram is a unit of mass; milliliter is a unit of volume. You can't directly convert the two. If you know the density of a substance, you can say, for example, "1 milliliter of water has a mass of 1 gram (1000 milligrams)", or "1 milliliter of lead has a mass of about 11 gram".
An example of a milliliter is the amount of liquid in a small medicine cup that holds cough syrup. It is equal to one-thousandth of a liter, making it a commonly used unit of measurement for liquids in pharmacy and cooking.
