  2. Litre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

    It follows, therefore, that 1000th of a litre, known as one millilitre (1 mL), of water has a mass of about 1 g; 1000 litres of water has a mass of about 1000 kg (1 tonne or megagram). This relationship holds because the gram was originally defined as the mass of 1 mL of water; however, this definition was abandoned in 1799 because the density ...

  3. List of conversion factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    Conversions between units in the metric system are defined by their prefixes (for example, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 milligram = 0.001 grams) and are thus not listed in this article. Exceptions are made if the unit is commonly known by another name (for example, 1 micron = 10 −6 metre).

  4. Parts-per notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts-per_notation

    The quantity "1 ppm" can be used for a mass fraction if a water-borne pollutant is present at one-millionth of a gram per gram of sample solution. When working with aqueous solutions, it is common to assume that the density of water is 1.00 g/mL. Therefore, it is common to equate 1 kilogram of water with 1 L of water.

    It is not clear how much water intake is needed by healthy people, though the British Dietetic Association advises that 2.5 liters of total water daily is the minimum to maintain proper hydration, including 1.8 liters (6 to 7 glasses) obtained directly from beverages. [128]

  6. Kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram

    1793: The grave (the precursor of the kilogram) was defined as the mass of 1 litre (dm 3) of water, which was determined to be 18841 grains. [11] 1795: the gram (1 / 1000 of a kilogram) was provisionally defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at the melting point of ice. [12] 1799: The Kilogramme des Archives was manufactured as a ...

  7. Gram per cubic centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram_per_cubic_centimetre

    It is equivalent to the units gram per millilitre (g/mL) and kilogram per litre (kg/L). The density of water is about 1 g/cm 3, since the gram was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at its maximum density at 4 °C (39 °F). [1]

  8. Enthalpy of fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion

    To heat 1 kg of liquid water from 0 °C to 20 °C requires 83.6 kJ (see below). However, heating 0 °C ice to 20 °C requires additional energy to melt the ice. We can treat these two processes independently and using the specific heat capacity of water to be 4.18 J/(g⋅K); thus, to heat 1 kg of ice from 273.15 K to water at 293.15 K (0 °C to ...
