Since the kilogram is a unit of mass and the litre is a unit of volume there is no standard conversion. Any conversion you perform will depend on the specific density of the substance involved.

1g=1mL so 1kg=1Liter...assuming that you meant how many litres can fill up an empty container with a mass of 1kg.
DO NOT BE CONFUSED by those who seem to think that a kilogram is a unit of weight/force---that's a newton. A kilogram is a unit of MASS and does not change...the amount of liquid used to fill up a container that holds 1kg (a 1cm^3 container) is the same whether the liquid is water or anything else.

A kilogram is a weight proportion, litre is a meter of volume of liquid.. different stuff has different rates, for example, a litre of water weights exactly one kilogram.. another fluid has another rate.. it's like asking what is rate of transfering onces into fluid onces: depends on what is the stuff you need to convert...

A kilogram is a unit of weight. A litre is a unit of something liquid. I don't think you can convert one into the other.

You can't. They are two different units of measurement. That is like asking how do you convert kilogram into seconds or minutes.

It depends on the density of the liquid. In the case of water, 1 mL of water weighs 1 gram, so 1 L of water weighs 1 kg.

You have to convert from mass to volume first
1.0 kilogram [kg] = 35.3 ounce [oz]
35.3 ounce [oz] = 1.0 litre [l]

You need to know the density of the solvent (g/ml or kg/L).

Will help you convert anything and I do believe it will show you the equation used.
