Water weighs more than gasoline because the particles in water are more dense than those in gasoline.
This is because water molecules are highly polar and tend to attract each other. Gasoline molecules are not nearly as polar and do not attract each other.

How does temperature effect the weight of gasoline?
It doesn't <><><> Well, to a minor extent, it does. Warm liquids weigh less than the same volume of a cold liquid. So a gallon of ice cold gasoline would weigh slightly more than a gallon of hot gasoline. Like most things, liquids expand and contract with temperature.
What makes gasoline heavier than water?
Gasoliner is NOT heavier than water. If you mix the two compounds , then allow them to settle. You will see that gasoline is on top of the water. ; Hence it is lighter (less heavy). Scieintifically, the density of gasoline is less than the density of water.
How much does 2 liters of gasoline weigh in pounds?
Gasoline has a lower density than water and weighs 737.22 grams per 1 litre. Therefore 2 litres of gasoline is equal to 1,474.44 grams (1.474 kilograms). The conversion factor for Kilograms to Pounds is 2.204, this means that 2 litres of gasoline weighs 3.249 Pounds
When gasoline and water are mixed together which one ends on top?
Gasoline has a density of around .71g/mL while water's density is 1g/mL so Gasoline floats on Water.
Which is more dense motor oil or gasoline?
Motor oil will float on water. That makes water denser.
Does 1 pint of gasoline weigh more than 1 pint of water?
No, gasoline weighs less than water.
Which weighs more antifreeze perticides or gasoline in order?
Antifreeze, Pesticide then Gasoline. Antifreeze has to weigh right at as much as water to make sure they mix in the cooling system - no bubbling up. Pesticides are made from materials lighter than water but mixed with water as a medium, so they are lighter than antifreeze. Gasoline is very light (the lighter the fuel with the same energy content, the more efficient it is), it' lighter than water so it's definitely lighter than antifreeze. Since pesticides are mostly water, in all likelihood gasoline is lighter than the pesticides.antifreeze > pesticides > gasoline
How much does one cubic inch of gasoline weigh?
About 0.42 ounces. Specific gravity (compared to water) about 0.73
Is water more or less dense than gasoline?
More dense.
How much does 880ml liquid weight in standard us pound weight?
880 ml of PURE WATER weighs 1.94 pounds. Some liquids would weigh a bit less than that (gasoline for example) while others would weigh a bit more (salt water for example).
How much does 1 fluid cup weigh?
Depends on what the liquid is. Molten lead weighs more than water, which weighs more than gasoline does. A cup of liquid is the same as 8 fluid ounces, but they are measuring a volume, not a weight.
Which weigh more water or ice?
It depends how much water and how much ice you hae. if you have 1 ice cube and 6 cups of water, the water will weigh more. But, if you have 10 ice cubes and 1/4 cup of water the ice will weigh more.
How much does a liter of gasoline weigh?
Gasoline is less dense than water, which has a density of 1 kg / liter. Depending on alot of variables, gasoline has a density of 0.71 to 0.77 kg / liter. So to answer your question, 1 liter of gasoline weighs 710 to 770 grams.
