Does one gallon equal 8 pounds?

Answer 1

About 64 pounds would be the weight. Pounds is a unit of mass/weight. Gallons is a liquid measure. They do not convert cleanly. The density of the liquid being measured can make a big difference. If the liquid is water, there is 8 pounds to a gallon.

Answer 2

The question, as stated, cannot be answered sensibly. A gallon is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A pound is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and elementary dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

As a simple mental exercise consider a gallon of air and of water. They will have very different masses.

Answer 3

For plain water, 8.34 pounds is one gallon.

Answer 4

Weight and volume cannot be linked without knowing the density of the liquid/material in question

Answer 5

8.25 gallons of plain water weighs 68.85 pounds.

Answer 6

No, one gallon of water weighs approximately 8.34 pounds. The weight of a gallon will vary depending on the substance being measured.

Answer 7

8 pounds of water is 3.628 litres

Answer 8

Medium density must be given !!!

Answer 9

yes
