> Convert cubic centimetres to grams for water (4 °c) and 17 other substances, or enter your own density. Because cubic centimetres measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the substance: mass = volume × density.

## Inputs

- Substance
- Custom density (g/cm³, kg/m³, kg/L, lb/ft³, lb/US gal)
- Cubic centimetres (cm³ (cc), L, mL, cL, dL, m³, µL, US gal, UK gal, US dry gal, US qt, UK qt, US pt, UK pt, US cup, metric cup, US fl oz, UK fl oz, tbsp, tsp, drop, ft³, in³, yd³, CCF, acre-ft, bbl)

## Results

- Density used
- Grams
- Kilograms
- Ounces

## Formula

```
mass = volume × density
```

## Explanation

One cc of water weighs 1 g, which is how the gram was originally defined. For other materials multiply by the density in g/cm³.

### How to use the cc to Grams Converter

- **Substance**
- **Custom density**
- **Cubic centimetres**
- Every result field is editable: type into **Grams** or any other result and **Cubic centimetres** plus every other field update to match.

Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.

### How it works

The calculator converts your volume to SI units, looks up the density of the selected substance in kg/m³ and multiplies. The result is then shown in grams and other common units. Every result field is editable, so you can work backwards too.

### How to convert cubic centimetres to grams

- Find the density of the substance (the menu fills it in for you).
- Convert the volume to SI units if needed.
- Multiply volume by density to get mass.
- Convert the answer to grams.

### What each result means

- **Grams** = [Cubic centimetres] × [Density used]
- **Kilograms** = [Cubic centimetres] × [Density used]
- **Ounces** = [Cubic centimetres] × [Density used]

## Worked example

Inputs — Substance: Water (4 °C); Custom density: 1 g/cm³; Cubic centimetres: 100 cm³ (cc).

Results — Density used = 1 g/cm³; **Grams = 100 g**; Kilograms = 0.1 kg; Ounces = 3.527396 oz.

## FAQ

**How many grams is 1 cc of water?**
1 g.

**How many grams is 100 cc of gasoline?**
About 74.5 g.

**Why does the answer change with the ingredient?**
Cubic centimetres and grams measure different things (volume and weight), so the conversion depends on how dense the material is.

**What if my ingredient is not listed?**
Choose “Custom density” and type its density; the label or a quick weigh-and-measure test will give it.

**What formula does the cc to Grams Converter use?**
mass = volume × density.
