Equivalent in what way? Gasoline and water are two entirely different chemical compounds. They have dissimilar physical and chemical properties because, well, they are different. Perhaps you are referring specifically to the weight of a gallon of each. If so, then the weight of a gallon of each substance is not equivalent because the gas is less dense than water, so a gallon of water weighs more. When referring to volume, a gallon of gas is equivalent to a gallon of water. Even a gallon of oxygen is equivalent to a gallon of water, in reference to volume. However, when dealing with gases, pressure, temperature, and the number of molecules of the gas must be taken into account.
It depends on how much of each you have! 100 gallons of gasoline weighs more that one gallon of water! I'm not trying to be a wise guy. Your question shows a fundamental misunderstanding of weight and density. Here's a trick question: What weighs more, a pound of rocks or a pound of feathers? The answer, of course, is neither. They both weigh exactly the same, one pound. I suppose what you meant to ask is, "Given equal volumes of water and gasoline, which weighs more?" Then the answer would be, "The denser liquid weighs more because it has greater mass per unit volume." Water weighs (on the surface of the Earth) about 8.3 pounds per gallon. Gasoline, however, is only about 73.7 percent as dense as water, so a gallon of gas (vehicular) weighs only about 6.11 pounds. I say "about" because density varies with temperature, so the weight of a gallon of either liquid will change as its temperature changes.
A gallon of water and a gallon of gasoline have the same volume measure. A gallon, which is a measure of volume, is a gallon, is a gallon. But the gasoline is less dense than water, so it will weigh less. The weight of a gallon of water is about 8.34 pounds , while a gallon of gasoline weighs in the ball park of about 6.25 pounds, depending on the fuel. The gallon of water, which is the same volume as a gallon of gasoline, weighs a bit over 2 pounds more because the water is more dense.
Water (if the same temperature as the gasoline) is more dense than gasoline, making water heavier than gasoline. Actually, quite a bit heavier. Depending on WHICH gasoline, it only weighs 68%-74% of what the same volume of water weighs.
The density (mass/volume) of the oil is less than the density of water. It is the same reason that ice floats on the top of water, rather than sinking. The density of frozen water (ice) is less than the density of liquid water.
It varies slightly depending on the exact formulation and the temperature of the gas, but about 6 pounds.
No, because gasoline has a lower density than water.
water weighs 8 lbs / gal
gas weighs 5 lbs per gal.
Because of greater density
gasoline weighs 6.1 lbs per gallon at standard pressures and temperatures....
One US gallon of gasoline is approximately 6.3 pounds
Briefly, the saturated vapor volume of an average gallon of liquid gasoline when fully evaporated is 160.4 gallons of vapor at 60° F and sea level.Vapor volume of a liquid is the number of cubic feet of vapor resulting from the complete evaporation of the liquid. The vapor volume depends on parameters of density, temperature, pressure and molecular weight which is affected by the variety of formulas for gasoline that is comprised of a wide range of hydrocarbons.Several approaches are available to solve this problem. One is shown below.Using a common industrial formula:one liquid gallon = [(8.31) x (SG) x (387 cu ft)] / (MW)Where:8.31 = pounds in gallon of waterSG = specific gravity of liquid being vaporized387 = At standard conditions, one pound-molecular weight of a material will evaporate to fill 387 cubic feet of space.MW= molecular weight of liquid being vaporizedThen using the approximate gasoline constants:one liquid gallon of gasoline = [(8.31 pounds in a gallon of water) x (.70 approx. specific gravity of gasoline) x (387 cu ft)] / (105 molecular weight of average gasoline)= 21.4 cubic feet of vapor volumeThere is 7.481 U.S. gallons in one cubic foot.So:one liquid gallon of gasoline = (21.4 cubic feet) x (7.481)= 160.4 gallons of saturated gasoline vaporThe vapor volume will vary based on the specific formulation of gasoline, pressure, and temperature.D.

If there was a gallon of water before it was frozen then it weighs the same. Fresh water has a density of 1Kg/liter Water ice has a density of 0.9167Kg/l A gallon is a volume measurement, so a gallon of ice weighs less than a gallon of water. The short answer is about 380 grammes or 13.5 Oz.
The mass of water is with 20-30 % higher.
no difference
The specific weight of gasoline is 6.073 pounds per gallon. The density of gasoline varies due to the quality of the gasoline, but is generally between 0.71-0.77 kilograms per liter.
