It depends what you are weighing/measuring because different liquids have different weights.(eg.oil is lighter than water which is why it floats on water)
0ne liter of WATER is equal to one kilogram.

liter is unit of volume and equal to 10^-3 m^3
while kilogram is unit of mass and u can covert volume into mass
if u know the density of substance
density = mass/volume
therefore mass=d*vol

for eg water has density of 1000 kg/m^3
therefore mass of 1l(ie 10^-3 m^3) of water is
mass=1000*10^-3
=1kg
therefore it depends upon density

One: A mL of water has the mass of 1 gram, so a L of water has mass of 1 kilogram. This is a standard scientific conversion.

Kilo is weight (2.2 kilo to the pound). Liter is volume measure. Comparing apples to oranges.

On 7 April 1795, the gram was decreed in France to be equal to “the absolute weight of a volume of water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of the meter, at the temperature of melting ice.”[6] The concept of using a specified volume of water to define a unit measure of mass was first advanced by the English philosopher John Wilkins in 1668.[7][8] Since trade and commerce typically involve items significantly more massive than one gram, and since a mass standard made of water would be inconvenient and unstable, the regulation of commerce necessitated the manufacture of a practical realization of the water-based definition of mass. Accordingly, a provisional mass standard was made as a single-piece, metallic artifact one thousand times more massive than the gram—the kilogram. At the same time, work was commissioned to precisely determine the mass of a cubic decimeter (one liter) of water.[Note 6][6] Although the decreed definition of the kilogram specified water at 0 °C—its highly stable temperature point—the French chemist, Louis Lefèvre-Gineau and the Italian naturalist, Giovanni Fabbroni after several years of research chose to redefine the standard in 1799 to water’s most stable density point: the temperature at which water reaches maximum density, which was measured at the time as 4 °C.[Note 7][9] They concluded that one cubic decimeter of water at its maximum density was equal to 99.9265% of the target mass of the provisional kilogram standard made four years earlier.[Note 8][10] That same year, 1799, an all-platinum kilogram prototype was fabricated with the objective that it would equal, as close as was scientifically feasible for the day, the mass of one cubic decimeter of water at 4 °C. The prototype was presented to the Archives of the Republic in June and on 10 December 1799, the prototype was formally ratified as the kilogramme des Archives (Kilogram of the Archives) and the kilogram was defined as being equal to its mass. This standard stood for the next ninety years.

It all depends on what you have 1 liter of. Liters measure volume and kilograms are mass.

This question is a great way to show how neat and tidy the Metric system really is (I live in the UK so we sometimes use it but not as often as we should).

One litre (UK, remember?) of water would weigh exactly one kilogram.

one liter is 1/1000 of a kiloliter

You really can't equate the two as one has to do with liquid and the other mass...

A ml is 1g.
A L is 1000g or 1kg.
