That depends on the density of what you are measuring. To work out questions like this you need to use the equation density*volume = mass Let's assume it is water with a density of 1kg per litre. So a 1000kg (a tonne) would be 1000 litres Let's now assume it is iron with a density 7.86kg per litre. So 1000kg would be 1000/7.68 = 127 litres. To work out questions life this you need to use the equation density*volume = mass

Doesn't work like that.

Liters is a unit of volume, while tonne is a unit of weight.

How many liters you get to a tonne depends on the density of the substance.

If you use popcorn, you'd need a lot more liters to make a tonne than if you used sand.


The litre is a measure of volume. The tonne is a measure of mass. The two are not interchangeable without further knowledge (i.e. density).
As the robot on "Lost in Space" has been known to say in such cases, "It does not compute." In other words: There is no relationship between the units of volume, like liters, and the units of weight, such as tons. You need to add what the material is that you want t measure. Example: How many liters of substance X equals a ton?

Not possible to convert from a mass measure to a volume measure without knowing the medium density.

ANSWER:

density = mass / volume

density of Nitrogen is 1.251grams per litre at 0deg celsius and 1 atmosphere pressure...

1 ton = 1000000grams

so....volume= mass / density

= 1000000grams/ 1.251g/L

= 799 360.51 litres

so approx. 800 000 litres

but answer will vary according to temperature and pressure under which Nitrogen is.. Well it doesn't change much but it depends on what Nitrogen you're talking about if it liquid or gas...liquid is tricky because it constantly evaporates so lets say it is in gas phase then:

but at 15 deg celsius and under 100kPa pressure it would also work out to around 845 000 litres...or 834m^3 ( cubic metres) so hope that helps ;)

A tonne of what?

For water, one tonne = 1000 litres.

For denser substances, less litres per tonne, for less dense substances, more litres per tonne.

That's *litres*, folks.

A liter is a measure of volume; a ton is a measure of mass. You can't simply convert from one to the other. However, for specific substances, you can do a conversion, if you know the substance's density.

One liter of water weights 910g. So What do you think? Just you have to divide 910 from 1000000. The answer is 1098. 9786543902. Crazy answer.
