is 1 kg equilelent to 1 litre in terms of weight?

Answer 1

1 litre of water tends to weigh about a kilogram. The litre is a unit of capacity (like a cubic centimetre is) but the kilogram is a measure of mass or weight. 1 litre of sand would weigh more than a kilogram.

Answer 2

Mass is the amount of matter that a body contains. The SI unit of mass is kg (kilograms). On the other hand, weight is the gravititional force acting on that body. This is measured in N (Newtons). The mass of a body will not change at different altitudes or even in space. However its weight in N will. Thus 1 litre of water has a MASS of 1 kg.

Answer 3

Only in the case of water is 1 kg equivalent to 1 liter

For other products 1 liter = 1 kg * density of the product

Answer 4

No, it is only true then it is water and at 25C. Materials have diffetent denisties. So 1 kg of lead is no there near the volume of 1 L nor is 1 kg of helium.

Answer 5

for water at room temperature it's approximately true.
according to Wikipedia:
at 0 degree Celsius, 1lit = 0.9998 Kg
at 30 degree Celsius,1it = 0.9957 Kg


it's true in general for substances with a density of 1g/cm^3

Answer 6

I'd say this is only applicable for the case of water. density of a liquid plays ain important role for this question for example density of mercury wont support this suggestion, oil and other spirits also.

Answer 7

only of water.. some things are less dense than water (lighter), oil for example. so 1 litre would be less than a 1kg

Answer 8

i'll say it again only with water or something with the density of water.

Answer 9

Yes,
1litre of liquid weighs 1kg ...
100 litres of liquid weighs 100kg and so on.
