how much does 2 liters of any fluid weigh in lbs please?

Answer 1

The weight of any fluid depends on its density . Fluids have different densities.
So 2 litres of a any fluid will weigh defferently dedending on the fluid's density.
For example ; The weight of 2 litres of water with its known density of 1000kg/m3, can be got as follows:

but mass= volume x density and 1 litre= 1000cm3
so 2 litres=2000cm3=0.002m3
Therefore Weight = 0.002m3 x 1000kg/m3
=2kg
=4.4092lbs ( 2.2046 lbs= 1kg)

Answer 2

A fluid is something that can flow. That generally means any liquid or gas. Two liters of air weighs nothing. Two liters of hydrogen weighs less that air and will weigh less than nothing and therefore float if the container is not too heavy.

The answer to the question as asked could be slightly less than zero to something around 54 pounds.

Answer 3

It equals 2 times the specific gravity of the liquid, in kilograms, or approximately 2 times specific gravity times 2.2 for pounds. If the liquid is water, then by definition specific gravity equals 1, and 2 liters of water will weigh about 4.4 pounds.

PS - tlbs101, wazzup with the placeholder? Play fair, ok? Otherwise it looks like you are waiting for someone else to post a good answer, then copy it into yours to make it look like it was first. Thank you.

Answer 4

The weight of 2 litres of any liquid will depend on the density of the liquid. The same volume of different liquids will have different weights. This is because the components of different substances have different weights and thus their density is different. Density is the measurement of a unit weight of matter. If the density of two fluids are 2kg/ cubic litre and 4kg/cubic litre, then 2 litres of the fluids will weigh 4kg and 8kg respectively. Weight is obtained by multiplying volume and density

Answer 5

Density changes from fluid to fluid, so it depends.

L fluid * (1000 L / 1 m^3) * (kg / m^3) = kg fluid
kg fluid * (1 kg / 2.20462262 pounds) = pounds fluid

kg / m^3 fluid is the density (kg/m^3 are standard units for density). you can look these values up. It's also called specific gravity. If you find these in other units, you can easily convert.

Answer 6

if water 1000 liters = 1 tonne
2 liters of water = 2 kg
2 kg = 4.4 lbs or 4 lbs 6 1/2 oz

Answer 7

1 Litre = 35.1960 Fluid Ounces (Imperial)

2 litres = 4.3995 lbs.

Answer 8

Depends on the fluid. Denser fluids like Mercury weight a lot!

You need 2 formulas:

Density= Mass/Volume
and,
Weight=Mass*gravity

.......where mass should be measured in kg, volume in cubic meters & gravity=9.8 m/s^2


Therefore: Weight=Density*Volume*9.8

example #1:
density of water=1000 kg·m^−3, and say you have a 1 liter container (0.001 m^3)
then: weight=1000*0.001*9.8=9.8 Newtons (Kg m/s^2)
(which is 2.2 pounds)

example #2:
density of mercury=13579.04 kg/m^3
volume=0.001 m^3
then weight=13579.04*0.001*9.8=133 N
(30 pounds)

Answer 9

Just for once the Imperial gallon is actually larger than the American gallon.

One Imperial Gallon of pure water is 4.55 litres and weighs in at a nice round 10Lbs.

Answer 10

From when I was at school I remember the following. A liter/litre of water = a pint and 3/4. and that water = 1lb a pint. the same holds true for petrol. Hope this is of some use.
