It depends on what the soil contains. It may contain sand or gravel. It may contain water. It may contain little or much organic material. It may be highly or loosely compacted. On the average, however, the density of ideal topsoil is about 1.25 grams per cubic centimeter, or about 78 pounds per cubic foot.

How much oxygen is in one cubic foot of snow?

Snow is not uniform for density so you would have to weigh the cubic foot you are interested in. Each pound or kilogram would be composed of 1/9 hydrogen and 8/9 oxygen (by mass) since the molecular weight of water is 18, the atomic weight of hydrogen is 1 and the atomic weight of oxygen is 16. Based on 1 cubic foot of snow being about 10% the weight of a cubic foot of water, it would weigh approximately 6.25 pounds and contain about 5.56 pounds of oxygen.

How much does one square foot of water weigh?

It turns out that square feet are a measure of area and as such are two-dimensional quantifier. A square foot of anything will weigh nothing because the material, the air or lead or anything else, will be 12 inches long by 12 inches wide by zero inches thick. If it was a cubic foot of air, i.e., a volume of air occupying a space 12" x 12" x 12", it would weigh about 0.08 pounds at standard temperature and pressure.

How much does a inch snow weigh?

It depends on how much you have!! One shovelful of snow, for example, weighs less than the amount of snow on your driveway. I suspect what you are really asking is not how much snow weighs but how much it weighs per cubit foot or cubic yard. Weight per unit volume is called density. But even that is tricky with respect to snow. The density of snow varies greatly. Lightly packed powder weighs very little per cubic foot, whereas slushy, wet snow can weigh over 62 pounds per cubic foot -- about the density of water.


How many gallons of water is in one cubic foot of compacted snow?

If it's heavily compacted snow, then one cubic foot weighs in at about 25 lbs. At 8 lbs to the quart, you are looking at less than a gallon of water. Closer to 3 quarts of water.


Water weighs 62.5 pounds per cubic foot. One gallon is 231 cubic inches. How much does one gallon weigh?

Convert cubic foot into inches= 1728. Divide 62.5 by 1728 for weight per cubic inch. Multiply weight per cubic inch by 231 (whats in one gallon) which equals 8.355.
