density = Mass/Volume
Density of water=1kg/m^3 or (g/cm^3)
therefore density of soda here =1
volume 2 L= 2 m^3
so
Mass of the soda =density of soda X Volume of soda= 1X 2= 2 Kg

The rule that I learned was: a pint of pure water weighs a pound and a quarter.
Converting this roughly to metric, 500mls water weighs about 600 gms. So, if you're right and soda weighs the same as water, then a 2 litre bottle should weigh about 2400 gms or 2Kg400gm or, back to imperial, about 2.5 pounds. This has a lot of assumptions built into it, like water weighs the same as soda, and there is no allowance for the weight of the bottle itself.

I'll start you off. A gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs. (according to epa.gov). Use your conversion charts to convert gallons into liters. Don't forget to multiply by two bc 2 liters are involved here. This will tell you how much it weighs in pounds only. Use your conversion charts to convert that anwer into grams and kilograms.

Here's a conversion chart:
