Are kilograms and liters equivalent?

Just today I’ve noticed in the wrap of my liquid soap there’s a “290g/300ml” on it. Weren’t those two measures supposed to be equivalent? Or have they lied to me my whole life? Lol

It’s a generalization that is roughly true when talking about water at a certain temperature.

Basically a rule of thumb.

One measures mass and the other measures volume, so no, they’re not equivalent. 300mL of water will weigh less than 300mL of gold. 290g of gold will take up less space than 290g of water.
