how many pounds is 3 liters?

Question

Well there is fat in the liters

The thing is I got liposuction yesterday and I am trying to figure out how much he took off. He filled up 3 liters of fat

Answer 1

This is a tough question but I think I've got it.

The density of body fat is 0.918g/cm^3

1cm^3=1mL

Thus 0.918g/cm^3=0.918kg/L

Thus 0.918 x 3L=2.754kg

Thus 2.754kg of fat!

Answer 2

As everyone has said - liters is volume & pounds are weight, so a liter of syrup would probably weigh more than a liter of water. For example
1 gallon (US) of water equals 8.33 lbs.
1 gallon (US) of ethanol equals 6.59 lbs

To use water as an example,
3 liters = .792 gallons , therefor 3 liters of water = 6.6 pounds

In google, if you enter convert 10cm to inches for example, it will know what you mean and do it for you!

Note also that an imperial (UK) gallon is different than a US gallon. Try these 2 google searches to see the difference

convert 1 us gallon to litres
convert 1 uk gallon to litres


I notice on your follow up, you said that actually it's body fat you are measuring.

If you place 1 pound of lean body tissue next to 1 pound of fat , the muscle would be 22% smaller, which of course means that fat is lighter than lean body tissue - kinda surprising, but lean body tissue is made of 75% water while fat tissue is made up of 15% water.

Please read here for details on the relationship between volume of fat and weight loss through lipo and you'll see there is not an easy to define relationship between the two - and as the doctor points out

"... it's often not what was taken out that matters the most, it's what's left behind. "

Answer 3

first of all you will need the density of the "fat".

I know this sounds reverse, asking you the question. but inorder to convert the weight to volume, is to solve the relation between the two, which is density.

The most important fact is that different materials and matter have different densities.

Assume it was water, then the density is
62.4 pounds per cubic feet.

if you had 3 litres, then it is 3 times 62.4

I hope this would not confuse you.
If it does, dont mind it.

Answer 4

6 pounds exactly

64 OZ's are in a 2 liter
32 OZ's are in a 1 litter

16 OZ = 1 pound
16+16+16+16+16+16= 96
96/16 = 6 pounds exactly

Answer 5

1 pound = 4somethin grams
so in 3 liter 3000/4something gram

Answer 6

One milliletre of water is equal to one gram. There are 1000 milliletres is one litre. So, in 3 litres there are 3000 grams, or 3 kilograms. There are 2.2 pounds per kilogram, so 2.2 x 3 =6.6pounds.

Answer 7

Litres is a metric liquid measurement, so it wouldn''t be in pounds, i'd assume it'd be in oz. But I'm not sure what you use in America.

Answer 8

It depends on the density of the particular liquid you are speaking of. You need the density to do this calculation.

Answer 9

Liters is for liquid and pounds is for weight

Three liters of what?
Water, oil, sand, or what?
