How much does one milliliter weigh?

Answer 1

How long is a piece of string?

Need the answer in bushels. ( I'll convert to angstroms myself.)

How much does your brain weigh?

Not much I'm guessing

Answer 2

a Milliliter is a measurement of volume, not a measure of weight or mass....so to determine what 1 mL weighs, you would need to know what you're weighing.

I know the metric system can be confusing, so let me rephrase your question and put a practical face on it:
"What does a gallon weigh?"
You can have a gallon of alot of things, a gallon of gas, a gallon of milk, a gallon of water, of sand. Since a milk jug is 1 gallon, lets think of it in those terms... which weighs more, a milk jug full of milk, or a milk jug full of sand? Obviously the sand. We say that the sand is "more dense" than the milk.

I won't get into the subject of density, but you see the idea.

Answer 3

One ml of WHAT? A ml of water weighs 1 gram. One ml of mercury weighs considerably more. A millilitre is a volume (a measure of space) not a measure of weight. Weight is a measure of mass per volume, so we need to know the mass of the substance involved.

Answer 4

It depends on the "what" the milliliter is. If it's water [H2O], one mL weighs 1 g.

Answer 5

One millilitre doesn't weigh anything, it is a measure. e.g. one millilitre of foam would weigh less than one millilitre of water.

To get the answer, try weighing an empty jug - fill to one litre with water, weigh the full jug, subtract the empty jug (you still with me?) - then divide by one hundred. It's as near as you're gonna get! this of course, will only give you the weight of water per millilitre.

Answer 6

In the metric system, by definition, one ml of water weighs 1 gram.

Answer 7

1st: remember that weight does not necessarily equal mass. At least while you're on Earth in most frames, mass is ~ weight.

2nd: mass = density * volume
So, 1 mL of some substance 'weighs' (density * 1 mL).

Answer 8

1 gram

Answer 9

1 litre = 1kg
1 millilitre = 1g

Answer 10

The same as three miniature double decker buses.
