To convert density from grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) to grams per milliliter (g/mL), we need to use a unit factor that relates these two units. The unit factor should have the desired unit (g) in the numerator and the original unit (cm3) in the denominator, with the appropriate conversion factor.

We know that 1 cm3 = 1 mL, so the conversion factor is 1. Therefore, the unit factor is:

1 mL/1 cm3 = 1 mL/1

To make the unit factor useful for converting density, we need to invert it so that the original unit (cm3) is in the numerator and the desired unit (mL) is in the denominator:

1 cm3/1 mL

Now we can multiply the density (in g/cm3) by this unit factor to get the density in g/mL:

density in g/mL = density in g/cm3 x (1 cm3/1 mL)

density in g/mL = density in g/cm3/1

density in g/mL = 10.5 g/cm3/1

density in g/mL = 10.5 g/1 mL

Therefore, the unit factor is:

10.5 g/1 mL
