The weight of water is directly related to its volume. To determine how many kilograms are in a 200-liter bottle of drinking water, we need to understand the relationship between liters and kilograms for water.
Water has a density of 1 kilogram per liter. This means that 1 liter of water weighs exactly 1 kilogram. Therefore, if you have a 200-liter bottle of water, the weight of the water in kilograms would be:
Weight (kg) = Volume (L) × Density (kg/L)
Substituting the values:
Weight (kg) = 200 L × 1 kg/L = 200 kg
So, a 200-liter bottle of drinking water weighs 200 kilograms.
This calculation assumes that the water is at standard temperature and pressure, where the density of water is exactly 1 kg/L. If the temperature or pressure changes, the density of water can vary slightly, but for most practical purposes, 1 liter of water is considered to weigh 1 kilogram.
