How Much Is 9.86 Milliliters of Buttermilk in Grams?

9.86 milliliters of buttermilk weighs 10.21 g. This is based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. Because milliliters measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 9.86 milliliters.

Formula and Step-by-Step

milliliters × 1.04g/ml = grams
  1. Start with 9.86 milliliters of buttermilk
  2. 1 milliliter of buttermilk = 1.04g
  3. 9.86 × 1.04 = 10.21g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units

What is a Milliliter?

A milliliter (ml) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1/1000 of a liter. It is the standard volume measurement for cooking in most countries outside the US. One cup equals approximately 236.588 milliliters.

What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 10.21 g, based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of milliliters by 1.04 (grams per milliliter for buttermilk). For 9.86 milliliters: 9.86 × 1.04 = 10.21 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh buttermilk on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of buttermilk changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 10.21 g ÷ 1.04 = 9.86 milliliters. Or use the Grams to Milliliters converter.
