    In the standard system the conversion is that 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches and 1 inch = 2.54 cm, which makes a gallon = 3785.411784 millilitres exactly. For nutritional labeling on food packages in the US, the teaspoon is defined as exactly 5 ml, [22] giving 1 gallon = 3840 ml exactly. This chart uses the former.

  3. Saline (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_(medicine)

    The solution is 9 grams of sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in water, to a total volume of 1000 ml (weight per unit volume). The mass of 1 millilitre of normal saline is 1.0046 grams at 22 °C. [12] [13] The molecular weight of sodium chloride is approximately 58.4 grams per mole, so 58.4 grams of sodium chloride equals 1 mole. Since normal ...

    D50 – 50% dextrose in water; The percentage is a mass concentration, so a 5% glucose/dextrose solution contains 50 g/L of glucose/dextrose (5 g per 100 ml). This usage is imprecise but widely used, as discussed at Mass concentration (chemistry) § Usage in biology. Glucose provides energy 4 kcal/gram, so a 5% glucose solution provides 0.2 kcal/ml

  5. Litre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

    One litre of liquid water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram, due to the gram being defined in 1795 as one cubic centimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice. [4] The original decimetre length was 44.344 lignes, which was revised in 1798 to 44.3296 lignes. This made the original litre 1.000 974 of today's cubic decimetre. It was ...

  6. Equivalent weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_weight

    The equivalent weight of an element is the mass which combines with or displaces 1.008 gram of hydrogen or 8.0 grams of oxygen or 35.5 grams of chlorine. The equivalent weight of an element is the mass of a mole of the element divided by the element's valence. That is, in grams, the atomic weight of the element divided by the usual valence. [2]

  7. Gram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram

    The gram (originally gramme; [1] SI unit symbol g) is a unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.. Originally defined in 1795 as "the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre [1 cm 3], and at the temperature of melting ice", [2] the defining temperature (≈0 °C) was later changed to 4 °C ...

  8. Gram per cubic centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram_per_cubic_centimetre

    The gram per cubic centimetre is a unit of density in the CGS system, and is commonly used in chemistry. It is defined by dividing the CGS unit of mass, the gram, by the CGS unit of volume, the cubic centimetre. The official SI symbols are g/cm 3, g·cm −3, or g cm −3. It is equivalent to the units gram per millilitre (g/mL) and kilogram ...

    3.696 691 195 3125 ml in the U.S. customary system [5]: C-5, C-12 3.551 632 8125 ml in the British Imperial system [5]: C-7 [18] A teaspoonful has been considered equal to one fluid dram for medical prescriptions. [19] However, by 1876 the teaspoon had grown considerably larger than it was previously, measuring 80–85 minims. [20]
