150 grams is approximately 150 milliliters when measuring water or a substance with similar density.
This conversion assumes the density of the substance is 1 gram per milliliter, like water. Since grams measure mass and milliliters measure volume, the conversion depends on the density of the material.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert grams to milliliters depends on the density of the substance. The general formula is:
Volume (ml) = Mass (g) ÷ Density (g/ml)
Because grams measure mass and milliliters measure volume, you must divide the mass by the density to get volume. For water, density is approximately 1 g/ml, so the volume in milliliters equals the mass in grams.
Example Calculation:
- Mass = 150 grams
- Density = 1 g/ml (water)
- Volume = 150 ÷ 1 = 150 ml
Conversion Example
- Convert 200 grams of water to milliliters:
- Density = 1 g/ml
- Volume = 200 ÷ 1 = 200 ml
- Convert 100 grams of olive oil (density ≈ 0.91 g/ml):
- Volume = 100 ÷ 0.91 ≈ 109.89 ml
- Convert 250 grams of honey (density ≈ 1.42 g/ml):
- Volume = 250 ÷ 1.42 ≈ 176.06 ml
- Convert 75 grams of milk (density ≈ 1.03 g/ml):
- Volume = 75 ÷ 1.03 ≈ 72.82 ml

Conversion Definitions
Gram: A gram is a unit of mass in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram. It quantifies how much matter an object contains and is used worldwide for measuring weight in everyday and scientific contexts.
Milliliter (ml): A milliliter is a metric unit of volume, equal to one-thousandth of a liter. It measures the space that a liquid or substance occupies and is commonly used in cooking, medicine, and chemistry for precise liquid measurements.
Conversion FAQs
Can I always convert grams to milliliters by using a 1:1 ratio?
No, the 1:1 ratio only works when the substance has a density of 1 gram per milliliter, like pure water. Other liquids or solids with different densities need their specific values to convert accurately.
Why does density affect the conversion between grams and milliliters?
Density links mass and volume; it tells how much mass fits into a certain volume. Because grams measure mass and milliliters measure volume, you need density to translate between them correctly.
How accurate is converting 150 grams to 150 ml for cooking ingredients?
For water and similar liquids, it’s precise. But for ingredients like flour, sugar, or oils, their densities vary, so 150 grams might not equal 150 ml. Using density values or kitchen scales gives better accuracy.
What happens if I don’t know the density of a substance?
Without density, you can’t convert grams to milliliters exactly. You might estimate using common densities, but results can be off, especially for thick or dense substances.
Are temperature and pressure relevant when converting grams to milliliters?
Yes, because density can change with temperature and pressure, especially for gases and some liquids. For most kitchen use, these changes are small, but in scientific settings they matter.
