I'm worried about the same question right now, as we are starting up a Water Store in in a remote village in Haiti, where people will bring the typical 5-gallon "Culligan" bottles to be filled with potable water.
My daughter is a professional winemaker. At the winery, they stearilize huge tanks and smaller (stainless steel) barrels by rinsing them with "ozone water". In their application, the ozone water is generated by a $3,000 machine, but perhaps smaller equipment is available.
The big advantage of ozone is that it dissipates within hours, leaving no trace of any chemical, odor, scent, or flavor -- a "must" if you're making fine wine.
The simple, cheap way to do sterilize is with a very weak (1%) chlorine solution -- ie. a few drops of bleach in water.
Notation: ( x , y ) where x is the amount of water in the 3-gallon container and y is the amount of water in the 5-gallon container1. Fill the three-gallon container ( 3 , 0 )2. Pour the three gallons into the 5-gallon container ( 0 , 3 )3. Fill the three-gallon container ( 3 , 3 )4. Fill the five-gallon container with the three-gallon container, leaving 1 gallon in the three gallon container ( 1 , 5 )5. Pour out the water from the five-gallon container ( 1 , 0 )6. Pour the water from the three-gallon container into the five-gallon container ( 0 , 1 )7. Fill the three-gallon container ( 3 , 1 )8. Pour the water from the three-gallon container into the five-gallon container ( 0 , 4 )Another great answer here:[See below for the related link]
1. Fill the 2 gallon container with water. 2. Pour all the water in the 2 gallon container into the 3 gallon container. 3. Refill the 2 gallon container 4. Fill the 3 gallon container the rest of the way with the 2 gallon container. You will have 1 gallon left in the 2 gallon container without using the 5 gallon container. P.S Whose bomb are you trying to defuse?
32 oz in a quart, so 128 in a gal, so 640 in 5 gal.
reduce the volume of the container by compressing or crushing!
fill 3 gallon container with juice and poor into 5 gallon container you now have 3 gallons in he container. now refil the 3 gallon container and fill the 5 gallon the rest of the way. now you have used up 2 gallons filling the 5 gallon container and you have 1 gallon left in the 3 gallon container.
th diameter of this is 7000 litres
You can achieve this by first filling the 3-gallon container with oil, then pouring it into the 5-gallon container. Next, fill the 3-gallon container again and pour it into the 5-gallon container until it's full (leaving 1 gallon in the 3-gallon container).
1. Completely fill the 4 gallon container. 2. Pour 3 of the 4 gallons into the 3 gallon container, leaving 1 gallon in the 4 gallon container. 3. Empty the 3 gallon container and pour the 1 remaining gallon from the 4 gallon container into the 3 gallon container. 4. Fill the 4 gallon container. Now you have a total of 5 gallons, 4 in the 4 gallon container and 1 in the 3 gallon.
Assuming you don't use fractions of the containers: You could fill the 5 gallon container and then decant it into the 4 gallon container until full leaving 1 gallon left in the 5 gallon container. Empty this into another container, repeat the process 2 more times and combine the 3 one gallon containers to make 3 gallons in one.
Well, honey, it's simple math. Fill up the 9 gallon container, pour it into the 4 gallon container until it's full, leaving you with 5 gallons in the 9 gallon container. Then empty out the 4 gallon container, pour the remaining 5 gallons from the 9 gallon container into the 4 gallon container, and finally fill up the 9 gallon container again. Voila, you've got yourself 6 gallons of water!
Fill up the 13 gal container and use this to fill up the 5 gal container. Empty the remaining 8 gal into the 24 gal container. Repeat the same process and empty the contents into the 11 gal container. Repeat the same process and you should result in 3 containers with 8 gallons each and a full 5 gal container.
A 5 gallon container will hold approximately 18.9 liters of gas.
