How much does an one liter of gold weigh?
One liter of gold weighs about 19 kg (43 lb).
🛞 That's about the weight of 2 car tires — or 3 bowling balls 🎳, or 4 house cats 🐱.
At 19 kg, it ranks #5 of 5 in Materials (lightest to heaviest) — heavier than One liter of mercury (14 kg).
This is one of the catalog's biggest surprises — and since it's a standardized product, the number above is exact, not an average.
A liter of gold weighs 19.3 kg — the same cube in water would weigh 1 kg. That factor of nineteen is density.
