How can one convert litres to grams?

Answer 1

No such conversion exists, unless you first know the density (grams/litre) of the substance.

You need a density to do the conversion, there's no direct conversion.

If you have water, which has a density of 1000 grams per litre, then 1000 grams would have a volume of 1 litre.

If you have propane liquid, it has a density of about 500 grams per litre. If you had a 1000 grams of propane liquid, the volume would be 2 litres.

Think of having a pound of lead or a pound of feathers, how much volume would they occupy? It would not be the same volume obviously.

Answer 2

litres is VOLUME while grams is Mass so a direct conversion isn't possible. However, if the density of the material is known, than mass can be obtained using the formula

density= mass/ volume

then the units for mass can be easily converted using the standard relations.

Answer 3

liter is a measure of volume, meter of distance, are or hectare of area and gram of mass. A liter is 1,000 cubic centimeters, a centimeter is 1/100th of a meter. Cubed is a cc. 1 cc of liquid water, not ice nor steam, at sea level weighs one gram.

and there is no other chemical that does this exactly.

so
1 cc = 1 gram
1000 cc = 1 liter
1 liter = 1,000 grams or 1 kilogram.

Now try converting miles per gallon into kilometers per liter.

Never try this while stoned, it won't work. Trust Me.

Answer 4

It depends on what the substance is.

Liters are a measurement for VOLUME, while grams are how one measures the WEIGHT.
For example, a liter of milk might weigh 850 grams (I haven't measured-- I'm just guesstimating), but a liter of lead will weigh a lot more.

Answer 5

The same way you convert apples to oranges.....

Answer 6

density = mass/volume
so if u want mass in grams
m =v xd (both should have same units)
