How much does a drop of water weigh?

Answer 1

I took a 1/2 oz eyedrop bottle and weighed out 5 gram or the weight of a nickel. The number surprized me after taking around 10 minutes. my count was 117 but i rounded it off to a 120. Which i devided by 5 to come up with 24 eyedrops for 1 gram. So 1/24 of a gram would weigh about 0.0417 grams.

Nice experiment. The size of a drop of water varies a lot. The "official" size ranges from about 50 ul to about 99 ul depending on country and system. 60 ul seems to be a common size. Because a liter of water weights a kilogram a drop of 60 ul weighs .06 gram.

Answer 2

It depends on what it is dripping off (or out) of.

If you are looking for a number to use in an estimate: I measured 0.033 mL per drop out of a syringe.

Answer 3

One drop of water should weigh about 0.0417 grams. However, this will vary depending on the actual size of the droplet.
