How many pounds is 0.5 L?

Answer 1

1 liter of water weighs in at 1 kilogram (kg), so 0.5 liters would likely weigh in at 0.5 kg.

The above is only approximately true and that for pure water under very controlled conditions. It is certainly not true for most other fluids whjose volume may be measured in litres.

Some people still believe that there is a conversion in relation to pure water but that is only approximately true. 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 millimetres 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 0.9999720 kg/litre.

Answer 2

It is equal to 1.1023 pounds approximately. Kilogram is the metric unit and pound is the imperial unit for mass. 1 Kilogram is 2.204 pounds. So we multiply kg by 2.204 to get the equivalent pounds.

Answer 3

This will depend upon what substance you have 2.0 liters of. Liters is a measure of volume while grams is a measure of mass. For 2.0 liters of pure water, you would have 2,000 grams of water. However, for 2.0 liters of pure liquid mercury, you would have approximately 26,000 grams of mercury.

Answer 4

None, since there can be no conversion. A pound is a measure of mass. A litre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. Consider a litre of air. How many pounds? Next consider the same volume of lead. How many pounds?

Answer 5

Answer: 0.5 L = 16.9070 fl oz(US)

Answer 6

THey are different units, thats like asking how many seconds are in a meter. In WATER, there are 500g in 0.5L

Answer 7

0.5 liters is 16.907 US fluid ounces.

Answer 8

0.5 liters is approximately 1.1 pounds.
