SUMMARY
A density of 1.5 g cm-3 is equivalent to 1500 g L-1. The discussion clarifies the conversion process, emphasizing that 1 cm3 equals 1 mL and 1 dm3 equals 1 L. Misunderstandings regarding the notation of volume and density were addressed, particularly the distinction between cm/3 and cm3. The correct interpretation of density in this context is crucial for accurate scientific communication.
