Acetone weighs 0.784 kg per litre. Convert litres to kilograms (and back) using its exact density.
Quick Metrology Summary
1 liter of Acetone weighs approximately 0.784 kilograms (or 784 grams) at standard room temperature. Because mass equals volume multiplied by density (\(m = V \times \rho\)), multiplying volume in liters by 0.784 gives the exact mass in kg.
Acetone: Weight per Litre Explained
Acetone has a density of 0.784 kg/L, which makes it 22% lighter than water. Acetone is a volatile solvent about 22% lighter than water, at 0.784 kg/L. It evaporates rapidly, so measured quantities can drop in minutes.
When You Need This Conversion
Nail-polish remover, paint thinning, resin and fibreglass clean-up, and laboratory use.
What Changes the Density
Density varies with temperature more than most liquids because of acetone's high thermal expansion — about 0.79 kg/L at 20°C and 0.81 near 0°C.

How to Convert Liters of Acetone to Kilograms
Acetone is a volatile solvent about 22% lighter than water, at 0.784 kg/L. It evaporates rapidly, so measured quantities can drop in minutes. To convert, multiply the volume in litres by 0.784. To go the other way, divide the weight in kilograms by 0.784.
kg = Litres × 0.784
L = kg ÷ 0.784
1 L → 0.784 kg
10 L → 7.84 kg
100 L → 78.4 kgExample
Convert 5 litres of acetone to kilograms: 5 × 0.784 = 3.92 kg, or 8.64 lb. Reversed: 3.92 kg ÷ 0.784 = 5 L.

5 × 0.784 = 3.92 kg.
Lighter: 0.784 kg/L against 1.0. Acetone mixes freely with water, so it does not float as a separate layer the way oil does.
1 litre of acetone weighs 0.784 kg (784 grams, or 1.73 lb), using a density of 0.784 kg/L.
1 kg of acetone is 1.276 litres. Divide the weight by the density: 1 ÷ 0.784 = 1.276.
Multiply the volume by 0.784. For example, 10 litres of acetone is 7.84 kg and 50 litres is 39.2 kg.
