* Liters (L) measure volume, which is the amount of space something occupies.
* Grams (g) measure mass, which is the amount of matter in an object.
To convert between liters and grams, you need to know the density of the substance you're dealing with. Density is the mass per unit volume.
Here's how to think about it:
* Water: 1 liter of water has a mass of 1 kilogram (1000 grams) because the density of water is 1 gram per milliliter (or 1 kilogram per liter).
* Other substances: A liter of oil, for example, will have a different mass than a liter of water because oil has a different density.
To convert liters to grams, you'll need the following formula:
Mass (grams) = Volume (liters) x Density (grams per liter)
