Most people still believe that there is a 1-to-1 conversion in relation to pure water but that is only approximately true. Until 1964 (nearly 50 year ago!) a litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 760 millilitres of Mercury. With that definition a conversion would have been valid - but only for pure water and only under those conditions. And, in those circumstances, the mass of 3 litres would have been 3 kilograms.
However, the density of pure water, at 4 deg C and 760 ml of mercury is 0.9999720 kg/litre so the mass of 3 litres of water would be 2.9999160 kilograms.

What is mass of water?
The mass of water is 1g per cm3
Why mass is measured as dry mass?
because when it contain water the mass of water will be the one to be obtained
Which is less 3500 mil or 3liters?
1000mL = 1L 3500mL x 1L/1000mL = 3.5L So, 3L is less than 3500mL.
Does changing the mass of water change the mass of 1 cm3 of water?
No
How can you find the mass of water when you have a balance?
okk first find like a tube thingy and find the mass of it on the balance and write it down somewhere then put the water in the tubee and find the mass and write it downn when your donee subtract the mass of the tube from the mass of the tube with water in it and your answerr is the mass of the water ***make sure the tube has no water in it or ANYTHING because it could change the mass okk first find like a tube thingy and find the mass of it on the balance and write it down somewhere then put the water in the tubee and find the mass and write it downn when your donee subtract the mass of the tube from the mass of the tube with water in it and your answerr is the mass of the water ***make sure the tube has no water in it or ANYTHING because it could change the mass
