How many kilo is one liter?

Answer 1

A kilo is 1000 grams (mass). A litre is 1000 cubic centimetres (volume). They are measures of completely different things.

However, the relationship between them is called density (mass per unit volume). One litre of water, for example, weighs exactly one kilo - the density of water is 1 kilo per litre (density is usually expressed as kilos per cubic metre - water is 1000 kilos/cubic metre; or as 'specific gravity', the specific gravity of water is 1).

Gold is very dense - 1 litre of gold weighs 19.6 kilos so its density is 19600 kilos/cubic metre and its specific gravity is 19.6.

The density of air on the other hand is 1.2 kilos per cubic metre i.e. 0.0012 kilos per litre, or a specific gravity of 0.0012.

So you can see that one litre of a very dense substance (e.g. a metal) is very heavy and one litre of a low density substance (e.g. a gas) is very light.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

One liter of water weighs approximately one kilogram. However, for liquids other than water, the weight of one liter can vary depending on the substance's density.

Answer 3

1 kilogram of water = 1 litre

Answer 4

A kiloliter is 1,000 liters.

Answer 5

1 litre of water is 1 kg
