How many kilograms are in 1.5 liters of honey?
How many kilograms are in 1.5 liters of honey?
Answer
The density of honey is 1.42 kg/L (at 20 °C; the spread comes from the moisture content of the honey). The source gives a band of 1.4–1.44 kg/L.
How the mass of 1.5 liters of honey was worked out
1.42 kg/L × 1.5 L
=2.13 kg
The density comes from Agrodok 42 “Bee products”, CTA. At 20 °C; the spread comes from the moisture content of the honey.
Why a liter and a kilogram are not the same thing
A liter measures volume, a kilogram measures mass, and density is what ties them together: how many kilograms one liter of this particular substance comes to. The coincidence that makes people treat them as one thing is historical — in 1795 the gram was defined as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water, so a liter of water weighed a kilogram by construction. For anything else the equality breaks.
The extremes of this page make it obvious: one liter of LPG weighs 0.51 kg, while one liter of densely packed sand weighs 2 kg — four times more at the very same volume.
If the substance is not known in advance, start from how many kilograms are in 1.5 liters — the same volume across every substance at once.
The other way round: how much room a kilogram takes
This page starts from a volume and answers in kilograms. The opposite question — how many liters a given mass comes to — is what the kilograms to liters calculator is for. Both read the same density table, so the two pages agree wherever the answer is volume times density.
For honey that means 1.5 liters weighs 2.13 kg here, and one kilogram of it takes 0.7 liters there.
