50 grams of water equals approximately 0.05 liters.
This conversion assumes the density of the substance is 1 gram per milliliter (g/mL), like water. Since 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters and 1 milliliter of water weighs 1 gram, 50 grams converts directly to 0.05 liters.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert grams to liters depends on the density of the substance. For water, the density is 1 gram per milliliter, which equals 1000 grams per liter. The formula is:
Volume (L) = Mass (g) ÷ Density (g/L)
Since water’s density is 1000 g/L, the formula becomes:
Volume (L) = Mass (g) ÷ 1000
This means every 1000 grams of water equals 1 liter of volume. So, when converting 50 grams:
- Volume = 50 g ÷ 1000 = 0.05 L
This works because water has a direct 1:1 relationship between grams and milliliters, making the math straightforward.
Conversion Example
- Example 1: 120 grams to liters
- Density of water = 1000 g/L
- Volume = 120 ÷ 1000 = 0.12 liters
- The result is 0.12 L.
- Example 2: 300 grams to liters
- Volume = 300 ÷ 1000 = 0.3 liters
- This means 300 grams is 0.3 liters.
- Example 3: 75 grams to liters
- Volume = 75 ÷ 1000 = 0.075 liters
- The result is 0.075 L.
- Example 4: 500 grams to liters
- Volume = 500 ÷ 1000 = 0.5 liters
- Therefore, 500 grams equals 0.5 liters.

Conversion Definitions
Grams: Grams are a metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram. It measures the amount of matter an object contains. Grams are widely used in everyday life, science, and industry to quantify small masses of solids, liquids, or powders.
Liter: Liter is a metric unit of volume measuring the capacity of a container. Equal to 1000 cubic centimeters or one cubic decimeter, it measures liquids and gases. Liters are commonly used in cooking, chemistry, and fluid measurement contexts.
Conversion FAQs
Does the conversion of 50 grams to liters change for different substances?
Yes, the conversion depends on the density of the substance. For water, 50 grams equals 0.05 liters, but for substances with higher or lower density, the volume in liters changes. You must divide mass by the specific density to get accurate volume.
Why is the density of water assumed to be 1 gram per milliliter?
Water at standard temperature and pressure has a density close to 1 g/mL, meaning 1 milliliter weighs 1 gram. This makes conversions between grams and liters (or milliliters) straightforward. However, density varies with temperature and pressure slightly.
Can I use the grams to liters formula for solids?
No, grams measure mass, while liters measure volume. Solids have various densities and shapes, so you can’t convert grams to liters directly without knowing the material’s density and how it occupies space.
What happens if the liquid is not water? How to convert 50 grams to liters then?
You need to know the liquid’s density in grams per liter. Then divide the 50 grams by that density to find liters. For example, if density is 800 g/L, then liters = 50 ÷ 800 = 0.0625 L.
Is temperature affecting gram to liter conversion?
Yes, temperature affects density of liquids. Warmer temperatures usually decrease density, so volume for a fixed mass may increase. When precision matters, temperature must be considered for accurate conversions.
