About
Cured pork packed closely into a container weighs slightly more than an equal volume of plain water.
Chopped bacon has a density of about 8.75 ounces per US cup (1.05 grams per milliliter), meaning it is heavy enough to sink in water. Because fat is lighter than muscle tissue, bacon is less dense than pure lean meat but denser than liquid cooking oil. The exact space it occupies depends on how tightly chopped pieces or strips are pressed together to eliminate air pockets. A standard 1-pound (454-gram) package takes up about 1.8 US cups (432 milliliters) of volume.
From Wikipedia
Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts, typically the belly or less fatty parts of the back. It is eaten as a side dish, used as a central ingredient, or as a flavouring or accent.
