cc to Grams Calculator
Convert cubic centimeters (cc) to grams using substance density. Since 1 cc = 1 mL, this conversion works the same as mL to grams. The density determines how heavy each cc of substance is. Common in medical dosing and engine displacement.
How to Convert cc to Grams
- Note that 1 cc (cubic centimeter) = 1 mL.
- Find the density of the substance in g/cc (same as g/mL).
- Multiply the volume in cc by the density to get grams.
Formula
Grams = cc × Density (g/cc)
Note: 1 cc = 1 mL
Example Calculation
Convert 50 cc of honey to grams:
Density of honey = 1.42 g/cc
Mass = 50 cc × 1.42 g/cc = 71 grams
Substance Density Reference Table
| Substance | Density (g/cc) | 100 cc = grams |
|---|---|---|
| Water | 1 | 100.00 g |
| Milk (whole) | 1.03 | 103.00 g |
| Cooking Oil | 0.92 | 92.00 g |
| Honey | 1.42 | 142.00 g |
| Gasoline | 0.75 | 75.00 g |
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 1 cc the same as 1 mL?
Yes, 1 cubic centimeter (cc) is exactly equal to 1 milliliter (mL). They are interchangeable units of volume.
Is 1 cc equal to 1 gram?
Only for water. 1 cc of water weighs 1 gram. For other substances, the weight depends on density. 1 cc of honey weighs 1.42 grams.
What does cc mean in medicine?
In medicine, cc (cubic centimeter) is used to measure liquid volumes, especially for injections and IV fluids. It is equivalent to 1 mL.
How do I convert cc to grams for engine oil?
Engine oil typically has a density of about 0.87 g/cc. Multiply the cc by 0.87 to get grams. For example, 1000 cc of engine oil ≈ 870 grams.
What is the difference between cc and cm³?
There is no difference. cc (cubic centimeter) and cm³ are the same unit. Both equal 1 mL of volume.
