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.
What is the difference in weight between gallon of water and gallon of gasoline?
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.
How much does 1 cubic foot of gasoline weigh?
It is not possible to answer the question without knowing the volume (quantity) of the gasoline. One gallon weighs from 5.8 to 6.5 pounds, depending on the temperature when you weigh it. Water holds similar weight properties as gasoline, so you may wish to test this by weighing one gallon of hot water and one gallon of cold water and taking the average. Don't measure, pour or heat gasoline!! Gasoline wegihs 6.08 pounds per gallon, diesel weighs an average of 7.1 pounds per gallon, water weighs 10.0 pounds per gallon. I Taransport gasoline daily and have been for the past 14 years.
What weighs more a gallon of gas or water?
A gallon of water is heavier (about 7 1/2 lbs per gallon) than gasoline (about 5.8 lbs per gallon). This is also the reason that gas floats on top of water.
How much does 25 gals gas weigh?
It depends on what you have 12.5 gallons of. Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon. so 12.5 gallons x 8.34 pounds per gallon =104.25 pounrds. Gasoline weighs only about 6.2 pounds per gallon. 12.5 gallons x 6.2 pounds per gallon = 77.5 pounds.
How many gallons are in 1000 kilograms?
Gallons of what? Different liquids have different weights. A gallon of water weighs 3.7854118 kilograms. A gallon of milk weighs 3.89 kilgrams. A gallon of gasoline weighs 2.835 kilograms. A gallon of ethanol weighs 2.987 kg. A gallon of mercury weighs 51.2165976 kilograms.
What weighs more a gallon of water or a gallon of gravy?

How do you convert 940 pounds into US Gallons?
You can't convert pounds (lbs) to gallons. Pounds is a measure of weight, gallons is a volume measure. The box weighs about 8½ pounds. It has a gallon bottle of water in it. One US gallon of pure water weighs about 8.35 pounds. One US gallon of gasoline weighs about 6.25 pounds (at 72°F). One US gallon of milk weighs about 8.6 pounds. One US gallon of mercury weighs about 113 pounds. Stay away from mercury! It is poisonous!
What is the weight of a gallon of unleaded gasoline in pounds?
That depends on how much you have! A tanker full of the stuff weighs more than a gallon of it. What you probably meant to ask is how much it weighs per unit volume. In other words, you wish to know its density. The specific gravity of gasoline is about 0.72. That is, it's about 72 percent the density of water. Since a gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon, we can easily calculate the density of gas as 6.00 pounds per gallon. By the way, I say "about" above because the density of gasoline varies with temperature.
How much does 44 gallons of gasoline weigh?
It depends on the liquid. Water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon, roughly.So, I would guess about 5 gallons.
