Because gases follow the principles of Boyle's Law, their volumes are directly proportional to their temperature, and inversely proportional to the pressure they are subjected to. Simply, a given mass of gas, if subjected to a higher pressure, will have a lower volume than before; if warmed to a higher temperature it will have a higher volume than before.
Because this property makes it difficult to express how much gas you are actually talking about, scientists standardize the conditions of pressure and temperature when describing an amount of gas, so that those conditions are fixed when doing calculations on an amount. A "standard cubic foot" of gas refers to a volume of 12" x 12" x 12" of the gas (1728 cubic inches) at standard temperature of 0o C and standard pressure of 1 atmosphere or about 14.7 pounds per square inch.

How much does 1 gallom of gas weigh?
Gas is typically measured in cubic feet or cubic meters at a particular temperature and pressure and will depend on the composition of the gas. So, as asked, there is no answer. I have rephrased your question: What is the expected weight of natural gas at standard condition in a one US gallon container? Answer: 0.00588 to 0.007487 pounds Standard conditions are pressure = 14.7 psia and temperature = 60 degrees F. At these conditions, natural gas gravity = 0.7 to 0.9 kg/m3 at standard conditions, depending on composition. See first link. This is equal to 0.044 to 0.056 pounds per cubic feet. There are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, so: 0.044 pound/cubic feet *(1 cubic foot/7.48 gallons) = 0.00588 pounds 0.56 /7.48 = 0.007887 pounds see links
Convert standard cubic meter gas to Giga joules?
What is cfh unit for gas?
a type of turtle that can pee standing up.
Explain why density is a size independent property?
Units of density are mass per unit volume. Unit volume might be a cubic centimeter or a cubic foot, for example. Whatever the size of your sample, a cubic foot of it is always a cubic foot, and the mass of that cubic foot will always be the same.
How do you convert 105000 btu per hr to mcf?
1 cubic foot of natural gas can be burned to generate about 1000 btu of heat. A 105000 btu/hr appliance would therefore require about 105 cubic feet of natural gas per hour; this is 0.1 thousand cubic feet, or 0.1mcf/hr.
Definition of a standard cubic foot of gas?
A standard cubic foot (abbreviated as scf) is a measure of quantity of gas, equal to a cubic foot of volume at temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and pressure of either 14.696 psig or 14.73 psig (30 inHg)
What is a scuff for natural gas transportation?
It is how you measure gas volumes: "scf"= standard cubic foot of gas.
How much 1 cubic of gas equivalent in bbl?
A standard cubic foot of natural gas has 1000 BTU. A Barrel of Oil equivalent has 5800000 BTU. It is 0.000172 BBL per cufic foot of gas.
How many cubic meters are in one standard cubic foot of gas?
359 is the number of standard cubic per lb-mol of a gas. The initial answer is actually the inverse. An easy mistake to make. Example: 18 lbs of water is one lb-mol. As a gas it would be 359 cubic feet of gas at standard temp and pressure.

How do you calculate the volume of natural gas in standard cubic meter at standard pressure?
The volume of gas in a cubic meter is one cubic meter. But perhaps that is not the real question?
