How Much Is 170 Milliliters of Molasses in Ounces?
170 milliliters of molasses weighs 8.62 oz. This is based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. Because milliliters measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 170 milliliters.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 170 milliliters of molasses
- 1 milliliter of molasses = 1.44g
- 170 × 1.44 = 244.31g
- Convert grams to ounces: 244.31 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.62 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Understanding the Units
What is a Milliliter?
Milliliters measure volume and are used worldwide for cooking and baking. For water at room temperature, 1 ml weighs approximately 1 gram, but this relationship does not hold for other ingredients.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
