Mass is typically measured in which unit?

Mass is measured in grams because grams are a unit of measurement within the metric system specifically designated for quantifying mass. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, and the gram is a fundamental unit that provides a clear standard for this measure.

In contrast, liters and milliliters are units of volume, not mass; they quantify how much three-dimensional space an object occupies rather than the mass of the object itself. Newtons, on the other hand, are units of force, defined as the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. While mass can be related to force (via Newton's second law of motion), Newtons do not directly measure mass.

Therefore, grams are the appropriate unit for expressing mass, making it the correct choice in this scenario.
