density=mass / vol
therefore
mass = density X volume
for water density is 1 and hence 1 litre water weighs 1 kg
but for other fluids u need to know the density

A littre of what?
1 littre of water = 1 kg (by definition)

One liter of water at 4 degree C weighs 1 Kg
Generally, Mass/volume = Density
Mathematically, it can be written as ; M/V=D
consequently, D*V = M
Here density of water (pure) at 4 degree C is considered as equal to 1
Hence, V=M
For other substance mass varies as the density varies, if volume is kept constant.

Weight of a liquid depends on its specific gravity. Specific Gravity of water is taken as 1 hence 1 Ltr. of water = 1 Kg (ideal condition).
Hence weight of same volume of different liquids vary. For Eg. 1 Ltr. of Kerosene weight approx. 800 grm. Weight of 1 Ltr. of buffallow milk will be greater than 1 Ltr. of cows milk. Also, weight of the liquid varies according to temperature.
Hence, if you notice, petroleum products when loaded, the temperature of loading is mentioned.

for pure water, 1 litre weighs 1 kg. It differs for different liquids or fluids. The weight per one litre capacity of any liquid or fluid is called gravity.
The gravity of a liquid per gravity of water is said to specific gravity. So, the specific gravity of water is 1.
The specific gravity of mercury is 13.5
In other worlds, the weight of 1 glass of mercury is equal to the weight of 13 1/2 glasses of water. Hope you understand the comparison.

all depends on the density of a particular liquid. for control purposes, a 1 litre water is equal to 1 kilo.
since mercury's density is high, 1 litre of it would be quite heavy. I'm not sure of the density so I can't calculate it for you.

the 2 units are different and it depend on material(specific gravity)
for example 1 litre water = 1 kg
i litre iron = 7.8 kg

depends on what it is. 1 litre is 1 kg of water. Oil is heavier so it will be slightly more.

Your question is dimensionally wrong. The dimension on the LHS does not match that on the RHS. Dimension of LHS=L^3.M^0.T^0
Dimension of RHS=L^0.M^1.T^0

It depends on the density of that particular matter. For example one litre of air is much much lighter in weight than one litre of water.
