MG to CC Conversion - Convert Milligrams to Cubic Centimeters

MG to CC Calculator

A mg to cc calculator is used to translates from milligrams to cubic centimeters, 1 mg is equivalent to 0.001 cc (since 1 g = 1 cc for water).

The formula is:

Volume in cc (mL) = Desired dose in mg ÷ Concentration in mg/mL

If you have a medication with:

Calculation: Volume = 25 mg ÷ 10 mg/mL = 2.5 cc (or 2.5 mL)

Step-by-step process:

a) First, identify:

The desired dose in mg
The concentration of the medication (usually written as mg/mL on the vial/bottle)

b) Use the formula: Volume (cc) = Desired dose (mg) ÷ Concentration (mg/mL)

Let’s say you need to administer a medication where:

Step 1: Set up the formula
Volume = 75 mg ÷ 25 mg/mL

Step 2: Solve
Volume = 3 cc (or 3 mL)

For water at room temperature (which has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³), 1 cc is equal to 1000 mg.

Converting mg to cc for different substances:

Water: 1000 mg = 1 cc (density: 1 g/cm³)
Ethanol: 789 mg = 1 cc (density: 0.789 g/cm³)
Mercury: 13,534 mg = 1 cc (density: 13.534 g/cm³)

To convert mg to cc, you need to know the substance’s density and use the formula: Volume (cc) = Mass (mg) / (Density (g/cm³) * 1000)

Substance	Density (g/cm³)	1 cc in mg	1000 mg in cc
Water	1.000	1000	1.000
Ethanol	0.789	789	1.267
Mercury	13.534	13,534	0.074
Olive Oil	0.920	920	1.087
Milk	1.030	1030	0.971
Gasoline	0.755	755	1.325
Blood	1.060	1060	0.943
Honey	1.420	1420	0.704

The formula to convert milligrams (mg) to cubic centimeters (cc) is:

Volume (cc) = Mass (mg) / (Density (g/cm³) * 1000)

Convert 5000 mg of olive oil to cc.

Know the density of olive oil: 0.920 g/cm³
Apply the formula: Volume = 5000 mg / (0.920 g/cm³ * 1000) Volume ≈ 5.435 cc

Therefore, 5000 mg of olive oil occupies approximately 5.435 cubic centimeters.
