Just to be really really pedantic ...... cos I feel like it ......... 300 litres of pure liquid water has a mass of 300kg. Mass and Weight are technically different measurements so actually the weight would need to be measured in Newtons so that would be Mass times Gravity so it would weight 300kg x 9.81.

Also if it were 300 litres of ice which would have a slightly higher density than liquid water due to the reduction in molecular and atomic excitement in the solidified water so it would weigh slightly more.

Also if it were 300litres of Water Vapour it would weigh next to nothing

All of the above of course relates to pure water which judging by the colour of it is not what comes out of my kitchen tap at the moment........

Here come the comments - I know no one like a smart alec
