Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another

Forum rules

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Be careful. :!: 1 gram is exactly equal to 1 milliliter only for clear water. It's not true for other substances. The conversion from weight to volume depends on the density of the substance. Water has the density of 1 g/ml.

According to this page the density of starch is 0.561 g/ml. It gives you the following result:

2 g of starch: 2 / 0.561 = 3.565 ml.

Similarly, this page gives the density of iodine being 4.927 g/ml.

2 g of iodine: 2 / 4.927 = 0.406 ml.
