[|Home Page] How To Convert mL Into kilograms  

To convert mL into kilograms, the steps you follow can be found in your "mole map." You first take the number of mL and turn them into Liters. Then, you take the number of liters and then turn it ito moles of that substance. Following that, you mulitply the number of moles by the molar mass of the substance. Your answer comes out in grams. To turn the grams into kilograms, you must use the conversion of 1 gram= .001 kilograms.

Sample problem: You are given 20 mL of CaCl2, how many kilograms is that?
 * 1) 20 mL of CaCl2 / 1000 = .02 L of CaCl2.
 * 2) (.02 Liters of CaCl2 / 1L) x 3 moles=.06 mols CaCl2 ( we do this because there are three moles in the compound CaCl2)
 * 3) (.06 mols CaCl2 / 1 mol) x 110 g of CaCl2= 6.6 g of CaCl2(we multiply by this because it is the molar mass of CaCl2)
 * 4) 1 g = .001 kilograms ; so, 6.6 g = **.0066 kilograms of CaCl2**
 * So, 20mL of CaCl2= .0066 kilograms of CaCl2
