Given an equal volume of each, Mercury has by far the greater mass (weight) because its density is approximately 13.6gm/cc whereas water has a density of 1gm/cc; So the mercury is 13.6 times as heavy as water is.

Is the mass of 1L water the same as 1L of all liquids?

No, the mass of 1 liter of water is equal to 1 kilogram, but the mass of 1 liter of other liquids varies depending on their density. The density of a liquid determines how much mass is contained in a given volume, so the mass of 1 liter of all liquids will not be the same.


What has a greater mass 1 liter of water or 1 liter of alcohol?

Water.


How many liter in a kilo?

These are different units. Liters is volume (3 dimensions) Kilo is short for kilogram which is mass. If you are measuring water (which conveniently has a density of 1.0) then 1 liter = 1 kilogram But if you have a liter of mercury then 1 liter = 13.6 kilograms


Calculate the mass in kg of 1.0 l of mercury?

Mercury has a density of 13,6 grams per cubic centimeter. One liter has 1000 cubic centimeters One kilogram has 1000 grams 13,6 * 1000 / 1000 = 13,6 kilograms per liter One liter of mercury has a mass of 13,6 kilograms


If 1 cubic centimeter of water has a mass of 1 gram than a liter has a mass of?

1 liter of water has a mass of 1000 grams since there are 1000 cubic centimeters in a liter.

One liter water is equal to how much kg?

One liter of standard pure clean water at standard temperature and pressure has a mass of 1 kg.


What is the mass of 1 liter of water?

The mass of 1 liter of water is approximately 1 kilogram or 1000 grams.


Would the mass on mercury float on water?

Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).


How does the mass of a dinosaur compare to the mass of 1 liter of water?

It is easiest to observe the volumes of the two and go from there. One liter of water is most easily observed by most students as exactly half of a two liter of soda. Water and soda have a similar density (mass divided by volume) so they will have a similar mass. Then compare the volume of 1 liter to the volume of a dinosaur. I believe even most baby dinosaurs were larger than a liter. Take into account that most land animals alive will have a density not too far from water (some people float and some sink). The animals that have a density that differs greatly from water will more often than not have a higher density than water and sink. So, because a dinosaur is SIGNIFICANTLY more voluminous than a liter, and we can speculate that they were at least the density of water if not more, its very safe to say that dinosaurs had many times the mass of 1 liter of water.


Are the volumes of mercury and water the same?

no, water is lighter than mercury


How may kilogram in a liter?

Kilogram is mass. Liter is volume. The only way you can relate the two is if you have a substance of known density. For example, water has a density of 1 kg per liter.
