  1. 1 g = 1 g
  2. ÷ 1 g/mL (USDA FDC 174158, 1 ml = 1 g) = 1 mL
  3. = 0.001 L

How to convert grams to liters

1 g = 0.001 L, so multiply by 0.001 to go from grams to liters. Going the other way, 1 L = 1,000 g.

L = g × 0.001
g = L × 1,000

Worked example:

5 g = 5 g
÷ 1 g/mL (USDA FDC 174158, 1 ml = 1 g) = 5 mL
= 0.005 L
