How many liters in 1000 kilograms?

Answer 1

That depends what's in the 1,000 litres of volume.

If it's air, it has very little mass, and weighs very little.

If it's clean water at standard temperature and pressure, then it has 1,000 kilograms of mass.

If it's lead or stones, it has a large number of kilograms of mass, and weighs a lot.

If the 1,000 litres of space is empty, it has no mass, and no weight.

Answer 2

Litres of which liquid? A litre is a measurement of volume, and a kilogram is a measurement of mass.

A litre is 1 cubic decimetre (1/10 metre). Or 1000L = 1m^3.

1000kg of liquid distilled water, with its density almost equal to 1g/cm^3, will have volume 1000L.
This question cannot be answered sensibly. A litre is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A kilogram is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

As a simple mental exercise consider a litre of air and a litre of water. They will have very different masses.
DENSITY=MASS/VOLUME=Kg/m^3

but m^3=1000litres

i.e.,1m^3=1000L

SO litres=density*kilograms

Answer 3

Only if you think of fresh water you can say:

1000 liters weigh 1000 kilograms or 1 tonne.

Actually, that is not true - it is only approximately so. Until 1964 (nearly 50 year ago!) a litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 760 millilitres of Mercury. With that definition a conversion would have been valid - but only for pure water and only under those conditions. In any case that definition of a litre was abandoned in favour of 1 litre =1000 cubic centimetres.

In fact the density of pure water, at 4 deg C and 760 ml of mercury is 999.9720 kg/metre3

Answer 4

To convert kilograms to liters, you need to know the density of the substance. As density varies for different substances, it's not possible to provide a direct conversion between kilograms and liters without additional information.

Answer 5

Liters measure volume while kilometers measure distance, so this question doesn't even make sense.

Answer 6

A kilogram is a unit of mass. A litre is a unit of capacity. With no unit of density to compare, the two units are incompatible.
