How to convert cc to Grams
grams = cc × densitywater density = 1 g/mL, so grams = cc · reverse: cc = grams ÷ density
- cc
- the volume in cubic centimeters
- grams
- the weight of that volume of water
- density
- grams per cc, taken as 1 for water
One cubic centimeter equals one milliliter exactly, so cc and mL are interchangeable as volume units.
The one-to-one figure assumes water. For a different liquid, multiply the cc by that liquid's density in g/mL: oil near 0.91, milk about 1.03, honey around 1.42.
Frequently asked questions
Is 1 cc equal to 1 gram?
For water, yes. One cc of water weighs 1 g. Other substances weigh more or less because their density is not 1.
How many grams is 100 cc?
For water, 100 cc is 100 g.
Is a cc the same as a mL?
Yes. One cubic centimeter and one milliliter are the same volume.
How many grams is 50 cc of oil?
About 45.5 g, since cooking oil has a density near 0.91 g/mL rather than water's 1.
Why does the substance matter?
A cc measures space, a gram measures weight, and density links them. Only water gives an exact one-to-one match.
