How do you convert gallons of 50 percent caustic soda into dry tons of caustic soda?

Answer 1

To convert gallons of 50% caustic soda into dry tons, you first need to determine the weight of the actual caustic soda in the solution. Since the solution is 50% caustic soda, half of the weight of the solution is caustic soda. Next, you need to convert the weight of caustic soda from gallons to pounds using the density of caustic soda. Finally, you can convert the weight in pounds to dry tons by dividing by 2000 (since there are 2000 pounds in a ton).

Answer 2

To calculate the Dry Short Tons (DST) from the solution of NaOH50%, the net weight of the solution and percentage of sodium oxide (Na2O) will need to be determined. Below is the calculation:

(1) Pounds (lbs) of 50% solution x Na2O content (%) = Na2O pounds

(2) Divide pounds of Na2O by 76% Na20 basis (.76) = NaOH dry pounds

(3) Divide the dry NaOH pounds by 2,000 = NaOH Dry Short Tons (DST)

Answer 3

To convert gallons of 50% caustic soda solution into dry tons of caustic soda, you need to first determine the weight of caustic soda in the solution using its concentration. Then, you can use the conversion factor of 1 gallon of 50% caustic soda solution being equivalent to 9.78 pounds of pure caustic soda. Finally, you can convert the weight in pounds to dry tons by dividing by 2000 (since 1 ton equals 2000 pounds).
