A liter of water has a mass of one kilogram. Liquids of a greater density have a greater mass.

It depends on what the substance is. A liter of water weighs one kilogram. A liter of a substance denser than water will weigh more than one kilo. Density is weight divided by volume so the greater the density, the greater the weight of the substance per unit volume. A liter of milk will weigh slightly more than a liter of water. A liter of pure alcohol will weigh about seven tenths of a kilogram.

All the answers seem to be correct; but they should also mention that a liter of water weighs 1 kg at NORMAL Temperature and Pressure. If the temperature and /or pressure changes, then water will have different weight.

A litter of different liquids weigh different. A litter of water weighs less than a more dense substance.

fIST OF ALL WE NEED TO KNOW A lITER OF WAHT ARE YOU ASKING FOr
If it is a liter of water the you know that the density of water is 1 g/ml so if a liter is 1000ml the 1000ml times 1 gr/mL you get 1000 g which is one Kilogram.
If a substanse is more dense, let sey 1.5 g/mL then 1000mL times 1.5 g/mL then you get 1500g which of course is heavier than a liter of water.
