Grams to cc Calculator
Convert grams to cubic centimeters (cc) using substance density. This is the reverse of cc to grams. Since 1 cc = 1 mL, this also gives you the volume in milliliters.
How to Convert Grams to cc
- Find the density of the substance in g/cc (same as g/mL).
- Divide the mass in grams by the density.
- The result is the volume in cubic centimeters (cc).
Formula
cc = Grams ÷ Density (g/cc)
Example Calculation
Convert 100 grams of cooking oil to cc:
Density of cooking oil = 0.92 g/cc
Volume = 100 g ÷ 0.92 g/cc = 108.70 cc
Substance Density Reference Table
| Substance | Density (g/cc) | 100 g = cc |
|---|---|---|
| Water | 1 | 100.00 cc |
| Milk (whole) | 1.03 | 97.09 cc |
| Cooking Oil | 0.92 | 108.70 cc |
| Honey | 1.42 | 70.42 cc |
| Gasoline | 0.75 | 133.33 cc |
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 1 gram equal to 1 cc?
Only for water. 1 gram of water occupies exactly 1 cc. For other substances, the volume depends on density. 1 gram of honey occupies only about 0.704 cc.
How many cc is 50 grams of honey?
Honey has a density of 1.42 g/cc. So 50 g ÷ 1.42 = approximately 35.21 cc of honey.
Is cc the same as mL?
Yes, 1 cc (cubic centimeter) = 1 mL (milliliter). They are interchangeable units of volume.
Why does 100 grams of oil take up more space than 100 grams of water?
Oil is less dense than water (0.92 vs 1.0 g/cc). Less dense substances occupy more volume for the same mass.
Can I use this for solid substances?
Yes, if you know the density of the solid. For example, aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cc, so 100 g of aluminum = 37.04 cc.
