    Help w/ Chemistry! Need mL to g conversion!

    Okay here is my situation, it's late at night and i've finally decided to do my homework

    I measured out 100mL of water in a graduated cylinder but i don't know how to convert 100mL of water into grams. It's probably very easy but my brain isn't functioning correctly as usual

    HELP!

    1L of water is equal to 1Kg.

    If you can't figure it out from there, may God help you.

        don't feel bad, I totally stared at this a while going, "eh what?"

        100 mL= .01L

        if ^^ is right, then

        .01L=.01kg

        .01kg=.01/1000gm=.00001gm

        that doesn't seem right, as far as the numbers go, but if nippinout is right, then that's the conversion.

          100mL = 0.1L

            .01kg = 10g. You multiply by 1000, not divide.
            EDIT: Since your first conversion was also incorrect I thought I'd throw in the correct answer -
            100g

            Just remember (snyper) that density measurements are derived from the density of water - therefore D for water = 1. When dealing with water or any other substance with D of 1, one mL = one g, one L = one kg. One of those things that's only easy if you know it.

                100mL H2O = 100g H2O

                  Yeah, the gram is (basically) DEFINED as 1 mL of water.

                    You're forgetting an important tidbit of info . . .

                    1ml of water = 1g only at 4 degrees Celsius. It differs slightly as temperature diverges from 4 degrees.

                      Just to play devil's advocate here - why did you go on the internet and ask someone to literally do something for you?

                      Also, doing your homework late at night isn't the smartest thing to do...

                            On my lab test today one of the questions was (3.43 * 10^3ml) * (2.45 * 10^4cm) figure that one out
                            He almost got me.

                              you can also do this

                              by using the density formula

                              density = mass/volume

                              density of H20 = 1 g/mL
