* Liters (L) measure volume, which is the amount of space a substance occupies.
* Grams (g) measure mass, which is the amount of matter in a substance.
To convert between liters and grams, you need to know the density of the substance. Density is mass per unit volume.
Here's how to do the conversion:
1. Identify the substance: What substance are you working with? (e.g., water, oil, mercury)
2. Find the density: Look up the density of the substance in grams per liter (g/L).
3. Use the formula:
* Mass (g) = Volume (L) x Density (g/L)
Example:
Let's say you want to find the mass of 1.13 liters of water. The density of water is approximately 1 g/mL or 1 kg/L.
* Mass (g) = 1.13 L x 1 kg/L = 1.13 kg
* Since 1 kg = 1000 g, the mass of 1.13 liters of water is 1130 grams.
