Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If 1 cubic centimeter of water has a mass of 1 gram, then a liter of water has a mass of ____ gram(s)?
A
1
B
10
C
100
D
1, 000
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One cubic centimetre corresponds to a volume of one millilitre. The mass of one cubic centimetre of water at 3.98 °C (the temperature at which it attains its maximum density) is almost equal to one gram.

Detailed explanation-2: -One litre of water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram when measured at its maximal density, which occurs at about 4 °C. Similarly: one millilitre (1 mL) of water has a mass of about 1 g; 1, 000 litres of water has a mass of about 1, 000 kg (1 tonne).

Detailed explanation-3: -One litre of liquid water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram, due to the gram being defined in 1795 as one cubic centimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice.

Detailed explanation-4: -A cubic metre equals 1, 000 litres of water.
