I am not very familiar with this subject (the "Imperial" measuring system),
but I will try to help you.
From the beginning, I have to point out that I assumed the "water",
from your question, as beeing pure/distilled water. In this hypothesis,
1 litre of water=1 kilogram; hence, 1/2 litre=1/2 kilogram
1 kilogram~=2.2046 pounds; 1/2 kilogram~=2.2046/2=1.1023 pounds.
So, the answer to your question is: 1.1023 pounds.

There's no such thing as a "US" litre. In USA litre is spelt "liter" but a litre is the same size anywhere in the world unlike the gallon which is different in US and UK. I agree with other answers that half a litre of water weighs about 1.1 lb. The exact results varies according to the temperature.

it's asking the weight of the jar, without any water. We know half the water weighs 4 and 1/4 because that's gone, and the remaining weight is 5 3/4. So the other half will weigh that too, so if you tip that out, you're left with 1 1/2 that is the weight of the jar. The rest was the weight of the water

1 litre of water weighs 1kilogram.
1 kilogram is just over 2.2 lbs.
So 500ml of water weighs just over 1.1 lbs
All of these volume weights are at sea level! Weigh the same volume of water at the top of Mount Everest and it will weigh less!

A (liter US) is a litre (UK) and anywhere else.
A litre is 1,000 cc. 1 cc is 1 gram.
1,000 cc is 1,000 grams. 1,000 grams is 2.205 pounds (lb).
1 pound (lb) is 454 grams. ½ a litre = 500 grams.
500 ÷ 454 = 1.103 lb
