It depends how concentrated it is.

If it is 100% pure, then it weighs 1.840 g/mL, and so 1 gallon weighs 6965.15 g, or 6.965 kg (3785.41 mL per gallon). That's equal to 15.35 lbs.

However, it is VERY unlikely that you actually have completely pure H2SO4, and at most normal concentrations, the density of sulfuric acid is very close (but slightly more) than that of water. A gallon of water weighs 8.345 lbs. So a gallon of dilute sulfuric acid will weigh about 8.5 lbs, and a very concentrated solution will weigh close to 15 lbs.

Sulfuric acid has a density of 1. 8305 grams per cubic centimeter and water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter. One gallon is 3785. 41178 cubic centimeters. (1. 8305 * (. 93 * (3785. 41178))) + (. 07 * 3785. 41178) = 6. 71 kilograms.

The specific gravity of 66 deg sulfuric acid is 1.8354.

Water is 8.33 lbs per gallon.

1 gallon of sulfuric x 8.33 lbs/gallon x 1.8354 = 15.3 lbs/gallon sulfuric

Sulfamic acid is a solid with the density 2,15 g/cm3. Gallon is a volume unit for liquids in US; the US dry gallon of 4,405 L is obsolete.
