Q:

# How many grams are in 1 liter of water?

A:

The density of water varies with temperature, thus the grams of water in 1 liter varies. While 1 gram per milliliter is the commonly reported value for the density of water, the actual value is less than this.

Water is most dense at approximately 4 degrees Celsius with a density of 999.97 grams per liter. At 100 degrees Celsius, its density is 958.4 grams per liter. Above this temperature water turns to vapor and becomes even less dense. Ice at -30 degrees Celsius has a density of 983.85 grams per liter. Since ice is not as dense as water, the solid form floats.

A liter of water weighs 2.2 pounds at 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit. However, as the temperature changes, either higher or lower, the density decreases and so does the weight. This is due to the anomalous expansion of water.

Grams and liters are units of mass and volume so conversion between the two requires more information about the substance. The relationship of mass divided by volume is known as density, and density varies between substances.
