1 cubic meter has 1000 liters of liquid. Meter is a unit independent of kilogram. Then why does 1 liter of water at max density (4 °C) have a mass of 1 kg? Is it a mere coincidence? asked Aug 29, 2018 at 16:42

Therefore 1 cubic meter volume is the same as 1000 cubic decimeter or 1000 liters and that is why 1000 liters of water weighs $1000\ \mathrm{kg}$ or 1 ton. Similarly, $1\ \mathrm{cm^3}$ is the same as $1\ \mathrm{ml}$ and weighs $1\ \mathrm g$ of water. It is not a mere coincidence but a simple equivalence measurement between the Metric system and the SI system of measurements. answered Dec 18, 2019 at 20:30
$\endgroup$ 2 The weight of 1 liter of water is 1 kilogram. Volume of water is measured in liters, while the weight of solids is generally measured in kilograms. Water is often stored in containers, and the capacity of a container is always mentioned in liters. Every liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters. One milliliter is also equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters. Hence, 1 milliliter is equal to 1 cubic centimeter. One cubic centimeter is also equal to
1 gram. Thus, every milliliter or every cubic centimeter of water weighs 1 gram. This works out to 1,000 grams for 1,000 milliliters of water. Thus, a liter of water weighs exactly 1 kilogram. MORE FROM REFERENCE.COM 1 liter of water equals 1 kilogram Volume to 'Weight' Converter - Chemistry
How to convert 1 liter of water to kilogramsTo convert a quantity of a substance or material expressed as a volume to mass we simply use the formula: mass = density × volume We want to calculate the mass in kilograms from a volume in liters. We have the density table at the bottom of this web page that shows us the densities values in kg/m³, so we will use the folowing formula (see why below): mass = d × v × vcfmcf, where vcf is the conversion factor to convert from liter to cubic meters (table near the end of this page) and mcf equals 1 because the mass is already in kiliograms. So, plugging these values in the formula above, we get: mass = 1000 × 1 × 0.0011 mass = 1000 × 0.001, or mass = 1 kilogram (answer) There are other ways to convert from volume to mass. This is one of them. How to convert from volume to mass (incorrectly called weight)?Well, by definition of density we just need to use the formula: mass = density × volume Example: How much does 2 cubic meters of gasoline weigh in kilograms if the gasoline density is 750 kg/m³? Plugging the values in the formula, we get mass = density × volume = 750 × 2 = 1500 Kg Very simple isn't it? Yes, it is as simple as that. But this works fine when the density value we have (from a chart for example) is defined using the same unit of volume and mass that we will use in the formula. For example, mass in kg and volume in liters. If we have, for example, mass in pounds and volume in gallons, we should do something to correct our result. To transform the mass from pounds to kilograms we should multiply the mass in pounds by 0.45359237. We will call 0.45359237 the mass conversion factor - mcf Matematically we write: mass in kilograms = mass in pounds × mcf or mkg = mlb × mcf (1) To transform the volume from gallons to cubic meters we should multiply the volume in cubic meters by 0.003785411784. We will call 0.003785411784 the volume conversion factor - vcf Matematically we write: volume in cubic meters = volume in gallons × vcf or vm³ = vgal × vcf (2) Now, dividing the equation (1) by the equation (2), we get mkgvm³ = mlb × mcfvgal × vcf, or mkgvm³ = mlbvgal × mcfvcf, but mkgvm³ is, by definition, the density (d) in kg/m³, so d = mlbvgal × mcfvcf Rearranging the formula above we get mlb = d × vgal × vcfmcf Finally, we can generalize this formula any units of mass and volume, since we know how to find the values for mcf and vcf (Check the factor tables below). m = d × v × vcfmcf That is exactly the formula that we use in this calculator. You can see how this formula works reading the example above or/and choosing another one at the bottom of this page. Liters of water to kilograms Chart
Note: some values may be rounded. These tables contain the most frequently used vcf and mcf.
