Best answer

A volume of 1 L equals 0.001 m3,

the density is in the range of 10000 kg/m3

so we get

m = ρV = 10 000 kg/m3 × 0.001 m3 = 10 kg

A more accurate value is ρ

= 13580 kg/m3.

For the air 1 kg/m3 so we get

m = ρV = 1 kg/m3 × 0.001 m3 = 0.001 kg

A more accurate value is ρ

= 1.17 kg/m3 at 100 kPa, 25°C.
