Solution

There is a direct relationship between volume and capacity. 1 litre is the capacity that contains a cubic receptacle of 1 dm of space; that is to say, the capacity contained in a volume of 1 dm3.

There is also a relationship between volume and the mass of water. 1 g equals 1 cm³ of pure water at 4° C.
