The Liters to Grams Calculator enables quick conversion between volume (liters or milliliters) and mass (grams), using density as a key factor. For a straightforward conversion, use the Basic Calculator to input values for Liters (L) and Density (kg/L) to calculate Grams from Liters. Leave one field empty to find its value based on the others.
For more precise calculations in smaller units, switch to the Advanced Calculator mode, where you can input Volume in Milliliters (mL) and Density (g/mL) to get the Mass (grams). Simply click Calculate for the result or Reset to clear all fields.
Understand Input Fields Purpose
Input Field |
Purpose |
Liters (L) |
Enter the volume in liters to calculate mass based on density. |
Density (kg/L) |
Specify the density in kilograms per liter to convert liters to grams. |
Grams from Liters (grams) |
Displays the calculated mass in grams based on liters and density. Leave blank for auto-calculation. |
Volume in Milliliters (mL) |
Input the volume in milliliters for conversion in advanced mode. |
Density (g/mL) |
Enter the density in grams per milliliter for advanced calculations. |
Mass (grams) |
Shows the calculated mass based on volume and density in advanced mode. |
A liters-to-grams calculator is helpful when converting liquids or substances. To get accurate results, you need the density of the substance and the volume in liters. Here’s a quick guide:
Step |
Description |
Input Volume in Liters |
Enter the volume of the substance in liters. |
Enter Density in kg/L |
Use the density of the substance. For water, it’s typically 0.998. |
Calculate Mass in Grams |
The calculator converts liters to grams for you. |
For example:
- Volume: 2 liters
- Density: 1 kg/L
- Grams = 2 × 1 × 1000 = 2000 grams
Liters to Grams Conversion: A Simple Guide
You can convert liters to grams by multiplying the volume by the density and 1000. This is handy for cooking, science, or daily tasks.

1 Gram in a Liter: What You Need to Know
To understand grams per liter:
- 1 gram in 1 liter means very low density.
- It’s rare unless you’re working with gases or lightweight substances.
For water:
- 1 liter = 998 grams
- 1 gram = 0.001 liters
Converting 1 Liter to Grams of Water
Water is simple to calculate since its density is close to 1 kg/L.
For example:
- Volume: 1 liter
- Density: 0.998 kg/L
- Grams = 1 × 0.998 × 1000 = 998 grams
Liters to Grams Conversion in Chemistry
In chemistry, density plays a vital role in conversions. Use the formula:
Grams = Volume × Density × 1000
Example for ethanol:
- Volume: 2.7 liters
- Density: 0.789 kg/L
- Grams = 2.7 × 0.789 × 1000 = 2130.3 grams
How to Convert 2.7 Liters to Grams
Let’s use an example with milk:
- Volume: 2.7 liters
- Density: 1.03 kg/L
- Grams = 2.7 × 1.03 × 1000 = 2781 grams

Converting Grams to Liters: A Step-by-Step Guide
Reverse the formula to convert grams to liters: Liters = Grams / (Density × 1000)
Example:
- Grams: 2100
- Density: 0.998 kg/L
- Liters = 2100 / (0.998 × 1000) = 2.1 liters
Understand 1.5 Liters to Grams Conversion
For water:
- Volume: 1.5 liters
- Density: 0.998 kg/L
- Grams = 1.5 × 0.998 × 1000 = 1497 grams
For milk:
- Volume: 1.5 liters
- Density: 1.03 kg/L
- Grams = 1.5 × 1.03 × 1000 = 1545 grams
Converting 2100 Grams to Liters
To convert grams to liters:
- Grams: 2100
- Density: 0.92 kg/L
- Liters = 2100 / (0.92 × 1000) = 2.28 liters

How to Convert 400 Grams to Liters
Example:
- Grams: 400
- Density: 0.998 kg/L
- Liters = 400 / (0.998 × 1000) = 0.4 liters
This formula helps you with everyday conversions and tasks!
