Yes. I've always found that curious. A gallon of pure water, at standard temperature and pressure, weighs about 8.34 pounds.
And yet, a pint is supposed to be 16oz (1 lb), which would make a gallon an even eight pounds.
I don't know if the organic molecules of the tomatoes would be heavier or lighter than water, but hydrocarbons such as gasoline are lighter than water.
This question occurred to me when I typed 8 pounds above, but I figured 8 pounds was close enough.
If somebody wants to measure the density of their sauce as compared to water, water weights 1000 grams per liter, which equals 1 gram per cubic centimeter, or 1 gram per milliliter.
So break out your graduated beakers everyone.
