- The mass unit associated with density is usually grams. If the volume (in mLmL or cm3cm3) is multiplied by the density (g/mLg/mL or g/cm3g/cm3) the volume units will cancel out, leaving only the mass units. Keep in mind that the volume and density must use the same volume unit for the cancellation.
