Typical compost/soil has a specific gravity of between 1 and 2.

Remember that a litre of water weighs a kilogram, a litre is
a 10 cm cube and the area of a circle is about 3/4 of the area
of a square with the same side as the diameter.

A 7 litre pot will be c. 30 cm (1') across and will weigh from
3 to 6 Kg (7 to 14 pounds), depending on wetness etc.
