Convert 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil to Butter in Grams
Are you looking to convert 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to its equivalent in butter grams? Look no further! In this article, we'll provide you with the conversion rate and explain the process step-by-step.
Understanding the Conversion Rate
To convert 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to butter in grams, we need to understand the density of both ingredients. Vegetable oil has a density of approximately 0.92 grams per milliliter (g/mL), while butter has a density of around 0.86 g/mL.
Converting 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil to Grams
To convert 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to grams, we need to know that 1 cup is equal to 236.6 milliliters (mL). Therefore, 1/2 cup is equivalent to:
1/2 cup × 236.6 mL/cup = 118.3 mL
Now, let's multiply the volume in milliliters by the density of vegetable oil (0.92 g/mL):
118.3 mL × 0.92 g/mL = 108.96 grams
Converting Vegetable Oil Grams to Butter Grams
Since we want to convert the vegetable oil to butter, we need to consider the density difference between the two. As butter is less dense than vegetable oil, we'll need more grams of butter to equal the same volume.
Let's divide the weight of vegetable oil (108.96 grams) by the density of butter (0.86 g/mL):
108.96 grams ÷ 0.86 g/mL = 126.92 grams of butter
Conclusion
To summarize, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil is equivalent to approximately 108.96 grams. If you want to replace the vegetable oil with butter, you'll need around 126.92 grams of butter to achieve the same volume.
Remember that this conversion rate is an estimate, and the actual conversion may vary depending on the specific types of vegetable oil and butter used.
