What Are Grams per Cubic Centimeter?

Grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) is a common density unit. It tells you how many grams fit in one cubic centimeter of material. Water at 4 °C has a density of 1 g/cm³, which is why one gram of water occupies one cubic centimeter. The same number works as g/mL for liquids.

Mass, Volume, and Density

Density links mass and volume:

$$V = \frac{M}{D}$$ $$M = V \times D$$

Rearrange depending on what you know. To find volume, divide mass by density. To find mass, multiply volume by density. Always convert units before calculating so mass, volume, and density stay consistent.

Common Density Unit Conversions

1 g/cm³ equals 1000 kg/m³, 1 g/mL, and about 62.43 lb/ft³. Scientists often use kg/m³ in SI work, while labs and kitchens use g/cm³ or g/mL. Our converter normalizes through g/cm³ so you can switch between systems without memorizing factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 1 kg equal to 1 liter of water?

Only for pure water near 4 °C where density is exactly 1 g/cm³. Other fluids and temperatures change the relationship.

How many grams are in 1 cc?

It depends on density. For water, 1 cc holds 1 gram. For gold at 19.3 g/cm³, 1 cc holds 19.3 grams.

What is the formula for volume from mass?

Volume equals mass divided by density: V = M / D. Convert all inputs to compatible units first.

How do I convert kg/m³ to g/cm³?

Divide by 1000. For example, 1000 kg/m³ is 1 g/cm³.

Are g/cm³ and g/mL the same?

Yes for practical purposes. One milliliter is one cubic centimeter, so density in g/mL matches g/cm³ numerically.
