Yes, they both are the same amount.

A liter is a measure of volume. So yes, a liter of solid takes up the same volume as a liter of liquid. Does it weigh the same amount? Doubtful, since solids are usually more dense than liquids, therefore more mass per portion. Volume does not determine weight. So, don't confuse your terms or measurement devices.

Yes. A liter is a unit of volume, whether it is solid or liquid.
1 liter = 1 dm^3 = 0.001 m^3 = 0.264 gallons
Now the weight of a liter of anything depends on the density of that thing :
1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram
1 liter of lead weighs 11.34 Kgs.

I would assume they would be. But only if they are measured with the right equipment. You wouldn't measure liquids with something made for solids. Same with solids, you would measure it with something used to measure liquids.

No, it depends on the density of each whether or not they take up the same volume.
Volume = mass
Density = weight

In Volume... Yes.
In Mass, ..They will be the same ONLY if they have the same Density.

in weight yes, in density no.
