It gets even better because 1CC or mL of water at 4.08 degrees centigrade weighs 1 gram. For our purposes the density change of water due to temperature is neglible. So if I know how many mL's water I added, I also know how many grams I added. Handy info. if a guy wanted to switch from water to mercury, as long as his scale reads in grams. Grams to ounces, that gets ugly.
