Grams are a way to measure how much something weighs. One gram is very small—it's one-thousandth of a kilogram. We use grams to weigh things like flour, sugar, or spices when cooking.
Milliliters (ml) measure how much space a liquid takes up. One milliliter is also very small—it's one-thousandth of a liter. We use milliliters to measure liquids like water, milk, or oil. To convert between grams and milliliters, you need to know the density of the substance, because the weight and volume of things can be different depending on what they are made of.
To convert 1 gram to milliliters, divide the number of grams (1 in this case) by the density of the ingredient.
The formula is:
grams ÷ ingredient density = milliliters
With our 1 gram to milliliters converter, you can make quick and accurate calculations effortlessly.
| Grams (g) | Water (ml) | Olive Oil (ml) | Honey (ml) | All-purpose Flour (ml) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 g | 2.00 ml | 2.17 ml | 1.45 ml | 3.77 ml |
| 3 g | 3.00 ml | 3.26 ml | 2.17 ml | 5.66 ml |
| 4 g | 4.00 ml | 4.35 ml | 2.90 ml | 7.55 ml |
| 5 g | 5.00 ml | 5.43 ml | 3.62 ml | 9.43 ml |
| 6 g | 6.00 ml | 6.52 ml | 4.35 ml | 11.32 ml |
| 7 g | 7.00 ml | 7.61 ml | 5.07 ml | 13.21 ml |
| 8 g | 8.00 ml | 8.70 ml | 5.80 ml | 15.09 ml |
| 9 g | 9.00 ml | 9.78 ml | 6.52 ml | 16.98 ml |
| 10 g | 10.00 ml | 10.87 ml | 7.25 ml | 18.87 ml |
| 11 g | 11.00 ml | 11.96 ml | 7.97 ml | 20.75 ml |
All-purpose flour has a density of 0.53 g/cm³.
To convert 1 gram to milliliters:
1 gram / 0.53 g/cm³ = 1.89 milliliters.
Honey has a density of 1.38 g/cm³.
To convert 1 milliliter to grams:
1 milliliter × 1.38 g/cm³ = 1.38 grams.
Olive oil has a density of 0.92 g/cm³.
To convert 1 gram to milliliters:
1 gram / 0.92 g/cm³ = 1.09 milliliters.
Different ingredients have different densities because their particles are packed together differently. For example, water is heavier than oil because the water particles are closer together. On the other hand, flour is lighter than sugar because it has more air in it.
Weight tells you how heavy something is, and it's measured in grams or ounces. Volume tells you how much space something takes up, and it's measured in milliliters or cups. When you change between weight and volume, you need to know the density of the ingredient to do it correctly.
Density helps you know the right way to convert between grams (weight) and milliliters (volume). Without knowing the density, you won’t get the right result because some things are heavier or lighter than others, like oil and water.
