What is the size of a ton of water?

Answer 1

A Ton of Water...US: 1 tonne = 2000 lbs.

1 gallon of water =~ 8.345 lbs

2000 lbs / 8.345 lbs/gal = 239.65 gal

In the US, about 239.65 US gallons would equal a ton.

Imperial gallons (metric):

1 tonne = 1000 kg.

1 gallon of water =~ 4.54609 kg

1000 kg / 4.54609 kg/gal = 219.97 gal

In the metric system, about 219.97 imperial gallonsequals a ton.
depends on what you have gallons of...a gallon of water weighs 8lbs.

in that instance 276 gallons equal a tonne (2204.62 lbs).

Answer 2

The density of water is exactly one kilogram per liter. That translates to exactly 1000 kilograms per cubic meter. Since 1000 kilograms is a tonne (that is, a metric ton), a tonne of water occupies exactly one cubic meter. But you wrote ton, not tonne, so that's probably not the answer you're looking for. A ton, also called a short ton, is 2000 pounds. A tonne is 1000 kilograms, which is 2,204.6 pounds. So, if you have one ton or 2000 pounds of water, it will occupy less space than one cubic meter. We divide 2000 by 2204.6 to get 0.907. So, one ton of water will occupy 0.907 cubic meters. By the way, you can use Google to easily get your answer. It will do the math and the conversions for you, as long as you type the equation properly. If you know that water has a density of one tonne per cubic meter and you want to know the volume of 2000 pounds of water, you would divide 2000 pounds by the density. You would then tell Google what units you want the answer in. In this case its cubic meters. So, type the following into the Google search bar: (2000 pounds) / (one tonne / cubic meter) in cubic meters. If you don't type in cubic meters, then Google returns the answer in liters, by default.

Answer 3

1L = 1KG 1000KG = 1 Metric Ton.

This is not a coincidence. The unit of measurement of kilogram (kg) is specifically based on the weight of one litre of water. A litre of another liquid, for example gasoline/petrol, weighs only 760 grams or 0.76 kg
a liter of water weighs 2.2 pounds.

A ton is 2000 pounds.

2000/2.2 = 909.1

Answer 4

Answer:

1 ton Imperial = 2000 lbs = 200 Gallons Imperial = 10 lbs per Gallon

1 tonne (1000 kg) = 2240 lbs

as 1kg = 2.2046226 lbs

1 ton = 1018.18 kg

1 liter of water = 1 kg.

1 U.S. gallon = 3.79 liters.

1 ton of water =269 U.S. gallons.

Note 1: An Imperial (British) Gallon is 4.54609 liters

1 ton = 200 Imperial gallons

Note2 : A metric tonne is 1,000 kg

So 1 metric tonne of water = 264 U.S. gallons

Ton (T) is Imperial

Tonne (t) is metric

Answer 5

This will be much easier if we assume that the question is referring to a metric tonne = 1000 kg. Assume also that the water is pure, the temperature and pressure are standard. Then the volume of 1 gm of water is 1 cm3. 1 metric tonne = 1000 kg = 1,000,000 gm ===> volume = 1,000,000 cm3 106 cm3 = 102 m3 = 100 m3

Answer 6

Water weighs about 62.4 pounds per cubic foot. So a US ton of water would occupy about 32 cubic feet. If the container were a cube, it would measure about 38 inches high, wide, and deep.

Answer 7

2000 lb of pure (not salt) water at 35deg f takes up ~32.03916ft^3 at 70 ~32.1020ft^3 and at 105 ~32.2951ft^3.

Answer 8

One short (US) ton (2,000 pounds) of water equates to about 32 cubic feet.

Answer 9

One ton (2,000 pounds) of non-seawater equates to approximately 16,700 US gallons OR 2,232.47 cubic feet.
