It must be noted that the weight of an object actually refers to its mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. The colloquial "weight" generally refers to mass, and mass will be used here. To obtain weight, multiply the mass by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2) to obtain the weight in newtons.
To determine the mass of a solid:Since the volume of the Aluminum is known, we can calculate it's weight if it's density and purity is known. (for this question assuming the Aluminum is at least 99% pure)Density of Aluminum is approximately 2.7g/cm3 (cubic cm )
1 liter = 1000cm3
10 liters = 1000 x10 = 10000cm3
Using the formula Density = mass /volume
Thus: Mass = Volume x Density
In this case Mass = (2.7 x 10000) = 27000g
27000/1000 = 27 kg
Addendum
In order to determine the mass of a container of solid, you must have the actual volume of the material. If the material is not solid, you must find the percent solid material per unit volume and then multiply that by your volume to determine the mass.
Addendum (2)
As the question asks for the weight of "Alum", not aluminum, one must first determine which type of alum one is inquiring about (Wikipedia lists several compounds having a similar chemical formula) and then determine the density of that compound. Once the density for the specific compound is determined, one may use the above formula to determine the weight.
Addendum (3)
The specific gravity of alum is 1.34, so 10 liters would weight 13.4kg.

How much weight can alum crystals withstand?
The weight that alum crystals can withstand varies depending on their size and structure, as well as the specific type of alum. Generally, alum crystals are relatively brittle and can break under significant stress or pressure. There's no standard weight limit for all alum crystals; their strength is influenced by factors such as purity and crystal formation. For practical purposes, it's essential to handle them gently to avoid breakage.
10 pounds equals how many liters?
The conversion of weight (pounds) to volume (liters) depends on the density of the substance. For water, 10 pounds is roughly 4.54 liters. However, for other substances, the conversion will vary.
Which has a larger volume 10L of water or 10L of mercury?
they share the same volume. In the Metric system, Liters are a measurement of volume, not of weight. Therefore, 10 Liters of water would share the same volume as 10 Liters of Mercury.
Which is more 9998 ml or 10 liters?
9998 ml = 9.998 liter < 10 liters 10 liters is more
How much does 5 liters of sand weigh?
The weight of 5 liters of sand can vary depending on its density, but on average, it weighs around 8-10 kilograms.
How much does 10 litres of petrol weigh?
The weight of 10 liters of petrol is approximately 7-8 kilograms. This weight can vary slightly depending on the exact composition and temperature of the petrol.

What does 10lb equals to?
Ten pounds (10 lb) is equal to approximately 4.54 kilograms. This conversion is useful in contexts where weight needs to be understood in metric terms. Additionally, 10 pounds is equivalent to 160 ounces or about 4.54 liters of water, as the weight of water is roughly equal to its volume in liters for this approximation.
How many liters is in ten liters?
10 liters.
