What does milligram per liter (mg/L) measure?

Milligram per liter measures the mass of a substance in milligrams contained within one liter of solution, often used for dilute aqueous concentrations.

When should I use kilogram per cubic centimeter (kg/cm³)?

Use kg/cm³ for describing very high densities in scientific fields like astrophysics or high-pressure research involving small volumes.

Is the conversion straightforward from mg/L to kg/cm³?

Yes, the conversion uses a fixed rate where 1 mg/L equals 1e-9 kg/cm³, but attention is needed due to the very small factor involved.
