Just a point of detail, a ml of pure water weighs one gram. I weighed a can and it came to 375 gm.
If the explosives sinks in water, then it can weight more than 1g/ml. I heard it from Greek guy Archimedes

PS: C-4 weights 1,44 g/ml so in standard tin can there will be 475g C-4
PPS: 475g C-4 is equivalent to 1.5 x 475 ≈ 700g TNT
