How many milligrams are in a cubic centimeter??

Thanks.

1 cc of water weighs 1000 mg (1 g). Other substances depend on density.

One is weight and the other is volume. How the heck can anyone answer that?

That's like asking how many kilometers are in a litre.

LOL!

Well, not quite that extreme...
Mass and volume are proportional so his/her question is valid. However, he/she left out one crucial detail - what substance we're talking about here. As mentioned, mass and volume are proportional but we need to know what substance so we can find the density (the density is different for all substances and is found experimentally, you can easily find the density of any substance on the net). Density = Mass/Volume. If we're talking about water, then density = 1g/mL. Since 1mL = 1 cubic centimeter, then there is 1 gram in 1 cc of water (or 1000mg) - as Cam had mentioned.

1 g of panacur = 1 ml. Panacur comes in a 25 g tube (for horse and cattle dewormer.....which is usually apple flavour) so you'd have 25 ml.

PS The dosage for snakes is 100mg/kg. So, 1 ml of panacur will worm 1000 grams (1 kg) of snake.

100 milligrams = 10 centigrams = 1 decigram = .1 grams

So then wouldn't 1 ml treat 10 kgs of snake?
