For my research project I need a little help with converting mL to mg?
How many mL does it take to = 80mg, 60mg and 40mg
On my supply bottle is states 30mL - 50mg/mL.... |

NO!
50 mg / 1 mL
80 mg / 1.6 mL
60 mg / 1.2 mL
40 mg / 0.8 mL |

if memory serves me right, it depends on the density of the liquid since litre is based on volume
one of the only times when the measure is numerically equal is with water where 1 ml = 1 gram
but im most likely quite wrong |

you can't compare, LKD is on the right track...
mg is a unit of measurement for weight
ml is a unit of measurement for volume
totally different
But the metric system was based on the equivalent of 1ml of water equalling 1g of water. So 1ml = 1g of water. 1ml of honey being much heavier, will result in more than 1 gram of weight. |

so what I see is that...
you have a total of 30 millilitres of total product,
50milligrams of ingredient per 1 millilitre of volume,
so therefore a total 600 milligrams of ingredient in your 30 milligrams of product. |

| Americans haven't learned the metric system like we have. I remember there was a Schoolhouse Rock clip on this. |
