Grams to Liters

Volume [L] = Mass [g] ÷ Density [g/L]

0.00 g ÷ 1000 g/L = 0.000000 L

Liters to Grams

Mass [g] = Density [g/L] × Volume [L]

1000 g/L × 0.000000 L = 0.00 g

Common Conversion Examples

Water (1000 g/L)

1000 g = 1.000000 L

500 g = 0.500000 L

250 g = 0.250000 L

Milk (1030 g/L)

200 g = 0.194175 L

500 g = 0.485437 L

1000 g = 0.970874 L

Cooking Oil (880 g/L)

500 g = 0.568182 L

880 g = 1.000000 L

1000 g = 1.136364 L

Honey (1420 g/L)

500 g = 0.352113 L

1000 g = 0.704225 L

1420 g = 1.000000 L

Conversion Tips

Water: 1000g = 1L (density = 1000 g/L)

Higher density = less volume per gram

Lower density = more volume per gram

Density can vary with temperature

Understanding Gram to Liter Conversion

Why Density is Essential

Converting grams (mass) to liters (volume) requires density because different substances have different mass-to-volume relationships. The same mass can occupy very different volumes.

Conversion Formulas

Grams to Liters

Volume [L] = Mass [g] ÷ Density [g/L]

Liters to Grams

Mass [g] = Density [g/L] × Volume [L]

Water as Reference

Water Properties

  • • Density: 1000 g/L (at room temperature)
  • • 1000 grams = 1 liter exactly
  • • Most common reference substance
  • • Easy mental conversion

Density Categories

Light Substances (<1000 g/L)

Oils, alcohol, gasoline - more volume per gram

Dense Substances (>1000 g/L)

Honey, syrups, mercury - less volume per gram

Practical Applications

Cooking & Baking

Recipe conversions between weight-based and volume-based measurements for accuracy.

Scientific Research

Laboratory calculations requiring precise mass to volume conversions for solutions.

Industrial Applications
